A SPECIAL Visitation

We hadn't been out to visit in a while since Braylin was born...

 Baby Boston is buried at Dobbs Valley Cemetary which is about 20 minutes from Mineral Wells, so it's a bit of a drive to get out there. Now that Braylin is older and easier to haul around, I decided it was time.

Jared, Braylin and I loaded up and headed north toward the interstate. My Nanny lives just minutes away, so we stopped there first to pick her up.

We grabbed our flowers, tools, and cleaning supplies and headed to the cemetary.

The drive out there is really pretty. The cemetary is located in the middle of a huge pasture, and it's so peaceful. Going to see Boston is not a sad thing anymore. I'm always happy to get out there and give him new flowers and clean his spot up. It's almost therapeutic. It's refreshing.  

Once we were out there, Jared and I began cleaning things up while Nanny held Braylin

(and she LOVES outside so she was very content). 

Boston likes to share his old flowers, so I grabbed them and was walking around to find a spot that didn't have flowers. As I began walking away, I thought I heard Braylin crying. I turned around to look,  but her face said the opposite. I quickly walked back.

 Braylin WAS NOT crying... 

SHE WAS LAUGHING THE CUTEST HAPPY LAUGH EVER.

Jared was cleaning the headstone,

 Nanny was standing very close and watching Jared,

 And Braylin was looking toward the now very clean stone and CHUCKLING

 a big cute BELLY LAUGH. 

If you have kept up, you know that Braylin laughed for the very first time

 just last week (the cutest belly laugh ever).

Braylin was just as content as could be. Nobody was talking to her or trying to entertain her, but she was looking down at the ground and laughing at SOMETHING.

We all stopped what we were doing and were entertained by her cuteness.

This precious baby who just started laughing was melting our hearts with another belly laugh....

but what was she laughing at?

She would look around and then look back down and just start cackling again! She did it 3-4 times.

I looked around in awe to see if Jared and Nanny were seeing what I was seeing. 

They were. 

Jared's face had a huge smile on it, and eyes in disbelief.

Nanny couldn't believe Bray's cute little belly laugh. 

Under my sunglasses I began to tear up.

And then again... Braylin started to chuckle.

She was not looking at me, nor WOULD she look at me.

She wasn't looking at Jared...

Her eyes danced around as she just laughed and smiled.

She saw something or SOMEONE that knew how to tickle her funny bone. 

My heart was pounding and melting at the same time.

TEARS! HAPPY ONES!

You can't help but to wonder....

"Could she see Boston?"

"Did he come down from the heavens to meet his new baby sister?"

"Was he making her laugh?"

"Can babies see things we cannot?"

Yesterday afternoon, at Dobbs Valley Cemetary, Braylin met her big brother Boston.

And she met him in a different way then we had intended when we decided to take her out there.

Jared and I both know...

Braylin met, saw, and laughed with her big brother, Boston,  for the very first time.

It was beautiful. It was warming to the heart. It was both of our children at the same place at the same time.

WE BELIEVE.
