He tried taking me to the room that he and Kiara have been sharing since Savannah died but I convinced him to go into his room so as to not wake Kiara. (I wanted to go back to bed.) We opened the curtain in his room and he had the BIGGEST grin on his face. He pointed to the sky and continued to say, "It's a Sissy Sunset!!" I corrected him and told him it was a sunrise and he didn't care, he was just so happy it was pink. He blew her a kiss and told her he loved her.
Last night he was really missing her and I told him to ask Heavenly Father to let him see Savannah in his dreams. He did and was much happier. I know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and answers them. I am so grateful that Donovan was able to recognize the beauty of that sunrise and know that Heavenly Father answered his prayers. He didn't say whether or not he dreamed of her, but he knew she was in that pink sunrise just for him.
If I had been a little more coherent I probably would have pulled my camera out to take a picture, however it is rare for me to be coherent before 7 am.
I do have a few sunrise pictures that are pink, this picture was taken in July of 2007 when I was at the hospital with Savannah. Beka had come into Savannah's room early to check her vital signs (I think), I happened to be awake (I didn't sleep well at the hospital), she said if I wanted to bring my camera the sunrise was going to be beautiful. We went and sat in the teen room for 15 minutes and watched it unfold. It was absolutely beautiful. We found out later that it would have been Mallory's 2oth birthday. Mallory was an AML patient who usually had the room next to Savannah at the hospital, she died early that year in February. Savannah frequently shared her pink fluff with Mallory.

Thanks for sharing that precious moment. Pink always reminds me of Savannah. We have a pink angel hanging in the kitchen that will go on our tree next year.
ADORABLE...it's amazing how the people we love tend to show themsevles. Miss you guys...love and hugs!
Beautiful. I have always loved that picture, too. I will always think of Savannah when I see the pink sky.
That's precious. I'm so glad you shared that with us - and have it written down so that you will always remember it. Such moments are priceless.
She was such a great big sister, always looking out for both of them! Not only wonderful that the sky was full of pink, but that he awoke to see it! Those little (or big!) miracles!
After reading your comment on Nicki's blog, I say you have every right to eat that Hershey Kiss!!
Hi, hope you are all doing okay, it is amazing how GOD works to show us how real he is and that our princess, is more alive with him than ever. Alyssa had to have another surgery on her brain a third ventriculostomy, the fourth ventricle was engaged, so there was fluid building up in there, also her fluid they removed from the brain original site of tumor was abnormal, Dr. Ashely has sent it to Boston, we are hoping it will come back okay. She goes to BBCH on the third to have a MRI, and hopefully they will see that the surgery worked, and Dr. Floorman won't have to place an internal stent. I have her on care pages, if you want to check up on her. sunshine Alyssa. Brandy has moved out again. But Gary & I do all of Alyssa's care any way even when she's here, I still fed her, gave her;her bath, and meds, I can't understand what is going on in Brandy, but my concern has to be for Alyssa, we are all she has, and she has had us since the day she was born. I love Brandy
but my loyalty lies with Alyssa. Love hugs & Prayers Cindy & Alyssa
OK Lady, it has been a MONTH since you blogged!
Wow, this is beautiful, Melissa. I'm not much of a blog reader, just followed a link Nicki posted on hers today. Thank you for sharing it. I will also think of Savannah when I see a beautiful pink sunset.
