Let me start off by saying yesterday was such an eerie day. It started off beautiful, then these crazy dark storm clouds came rolling in. On the North side, it was black and on the South, it was sunny blue skies with white fluffy clouds. Then, out of nowhere, the entire sky darkened and these huge hunks of hail came storming down on us. It was CRAZY!!
This happened twice yesterday. Meaning after the first time, the weather totally cleared up (we even went for a long walk) and then moments after we returned from our walk, the sky became really dark again. Only this second time, the hail was bigger and hitting that much harder. It was really neat. We watched all the action from inside our garage. It was such a sight.
All day I kept telling Carson that there would be a rainbow. We kept going out periodically to search for it. Yet, I just couldn't find one. But do you just ever have that strong gut feeling that it is meant to happen, and you just won't let it rest? Well, after the second storm of the day, the skies opened up and right in front of my eyes, a rainbow appeared!!!!! I was jumping and yelling for joy. I just knew it would happen! Not only did one appear, but two. Yes, there was a double rainbow - wishes do come true.
You see, it wasn't a normal day, in more than one regard. It was also Madison's anniversary. It was exactly 8 years ago yesterday that I lost my beautiful baby girl. Never an easy feat, yet this time, I could not have asked for a more spectacular day. It was the first anniversary that I felt so content and at peace. I am not a religious person, but I felt as though the heavens opened up and she gave me such a beautiful

Oh Amy, i'm sorry for your loss, it does seem like the rainbow was made just for you yesterday!
Wow... those clouds look so scary. But in the end, you got your rainbow. And you know, sometimes, it's the little miracles that open your heart/eyes more. ;o)
Amy, I had no idea about Madison- I'm so sorry. She gave you the most perfect rainbow! {{{Hugs}}}
Some of those pictures are scary. The rainbows were awesome and perfect close to what is normally a sad day!
