I had so much fun putting that coalgle together for you. I am glad that you have it up so Arrine can see what a beautiful person you are.When Arrine smiled and walked away .I feel that children have a special connection to the loved ones in Heaven they seem so at peace. So when she smiled, maybe she was telling you that yes, I know because I see her over my bed every night and that is a good thing. Big hugs
