We know Olivia is always with
us; yet, she always appears when we least expect to see her. Olivia
makes herself known to us, to our family members, and to our friends all
the time.

love me, we're a happy family ... " and you always want to be picked up,
dance to the music, and get a big hug and kiss at the end. We did that

It had been a just a horrible
and rainy day for Kathy in Austin, Texas and then out of the corner of
her eye she saw some color ... a most wonderful Rainbow. You made
her smile for the rest of the day. Kathy reflected how previously, time
to time, she would request for you and the other Angels to keep an eye
on her son Ryan while he was in Iraq. You must have put in some
good words with all your friends, and worked overtime, because y'all
helped save his life. Kathy thanks you for the Rainbow reminder
today that you are still there watching over her and her family.
Last year you gave Kathy's
sister Becky a Rainbow reminder, the day before your birthday. Are
you trying to tell us something? Olivia,
Is That You?
