In our house, laundry day consists of several loads of dirty clothes being washed and dried. I usually sort the folded clothes into piles on the floor of the living room before putting them back where they belong. My daughter, Margareta, would often try to help fold the clothes, starting from the tender age of two. Even though I would usually have to re-fold what she already did, I enjoyed the company and the comraderie.
One day, I left my piles of folded laundry on the living room floor in Margareta’s capable hands while I walked back to the washer and dryer to start a new load. It took a few minutes to put wet clothes in the dryer and dirty clothes in the washer. When I returned to the living room, not only did I find my piles of folded laundry not so folded any more – I found that Margareta had played dress up with mommy’s underwear. I grabbed the camera while I was still laughing.

Margareta, my little Angel! I only had the honor of meeting you once on this earth, but I feel you and dream about you often. I know God had a plan for you and part of that plan was to bring joy and laughter to your wonderful parents and brothers.
Keep an eye out for all of us precious one.
My love,
Sandra

I love reading these stories about Margareta; especially since I didn’t get to spend much time with her. It helps me to know her better and in the short time that she was here it seems she brought a lot of joy to those around her:O)
I think of Margareta all the time. Thank you for sharing the pictures and story. It helps me integrate her more and more into my life. I have a story to share too.
You wonderful recollections of your daughter have brought me such comfort. My beautiful mum died in March of this year and we are all heartbroken. Your courage and wonderful heart is an inspiration, thank you. Carole Anne
