She's Dancing with the Angels

She's Dancing with the Angels....

All week I have been listening to the same song over and over. It's called "Dancing with the Angels." Each time I listen to it I have felt a different emotion. When I hear this song about dancing with angels it brings me joy. But at the same time it's tough to listen to because when we send someone up to dance with the angels it means that we lose them here.

At this very moment Brittany Ann Horton is dancing with the angels. I can just see her beautiful, smiling face too. My favorite thing about Brittany was her smile. Whenever she would smile big she would squint her eyes and it was the cutest thing in the world. My most favorite thing was her cry. Not many people look pretty when they cry, but Brittany did. She always cried smiling. I'll never forget it because it was Brittany's thing. I can picture her face right now, and the one thing that gives me peace is knowing that she is with Jesus in Heaven. No more suffering, no more cancer.

We love you Brittany. We look forward to seeing you again one day.

Here is the last "Brittany Update" from her mom that was just sent out:

…and the world has lost a ray of sunshine.

Brittany Ann Horton

3/1/1984 – 12/4/2009


All arrangement details will follow.

We love you for taking this journey with us.

Oh Tanna I am so sorry to hear this. We just prayed for her a few minutes ago when I put Kynli to bed. I sit here typing this with tears streaming down my face. I will continue to pray for peace for you and the entire Horton family. May God be with all of you in the days ahead!
Love,

I know God is taking care of Brittany and she is looking down on us right now with peace and understanding. She has the light of God shining on her and is giving her family strength to deal with this.

Tanna, Brandon & family,

John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give is not fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid.

i wish i understood these things. i wish i could wrap my mind around it. when you texted me and said that brittany was with jesus, my eyes filled with tears. wonder what she said to Him? wonder what He said to her?

she is with clint's grandmother. and everyone else that i've lost along the way. and maybe she will now be a guardian angel. for her mom...and her brother. and the rest of her sweet family.

but for whatever reason, that doesn't make me feel any better. my heart breaks for you. and brandon. hug brandon for us.

there isn't a moment in the day when i don't think about you guys. love you tanna.
