"Sophia"

April Contest Winner is Patricia Thompson who wrote, "I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT "SOPHIA" AS THE APRIL ANGEL'S NAME.

IT WAS MY MOTHER'S MIDDLE NAME.  SHE RARELY USED IT OR LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IT WAS AS SHE THOUGHT IT WAS TOO SOPHISTICATED.

MY MOTHER WAS A TINY LITTLE WOMAN WHO RAISED 2 BOYS AND 2 GIRLS.  SHE AMAZED ME AS TO HOW SHE FED AND CLOTHED US FOUR WHEN MY FATHER'S PAYCHECKS JUST WOULDN'T MAKE ENDS MEET.  SHE ALWAYS HAD 3 MEALS A DAY FOR US AND SHE MADE ALMOST ALL OUR CLOTHES.  SHE WAS OF PURE GERMAN DECENT BUT DIDN'T HAVE AN ANGRY DAY IN HER LIFE NO MATTER HOW BAD THINGS GOT.  WE LOVED HER DEARLY AND ALWAYS RELIED  ON HER FOR GUIDANCE AND COMFORT IN OUR TRYING DAYS.

I LOST MY HUSBAND OF 24  YEARS  6 YEARS AGO TO DIABETES AND 2 MONTHS LATER MY FATHER PASSED AWAY.  MY MOTHER NOT ONLY HAD TO HELP ME THROUGH MY GRIEF BUT HERS ALSO.  THEY HAD BEEN MARRIED 55 YEARS AND WERE BOTH IN THEIR MIDDLE 80'S.  MOM COVERED HER GRIEF WELL, BUT 3 DAYS BEFORE  CHRISTMAS THAT SAME YEAR , SHE WENT TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH MY FATHER IN HEAVEN IN 1998, I LOST THE 3 MOST PRECIOUS PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.

I AM SURE SHE IS AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN AND KEEPING MY FATHER AND HUSBAND IN LINE.  OH WHAT A PICTURE THAT WOULD MAKE.

I HOPE YOU CONSIDER THIS NAME FOR YOUR ANGEL OF APRIL.  IT IS A FITTING REMEMBRANCE FOR THE TINY LITTLE "SOPHISTICATED" LADY THAT SHE REALLY WAS.
