Here is another version of Hank's Angels. Her wings are blue because that was my dad's favorite color.

Hank's Angels - To Protect and Serve
Hank's Angel
"To Protect and Serve"
In tribute to my dad I have started to make angels in his honor. A couple of days before he passed he was talking to someone and asking them "How they changed the ambience of the room because it was so peaceful and smelled good". I asked him what he said and he turned his head and looked at me and repeated, "How did you change the ambience of the room. It was so peaceful and smelled good". Although he had turned to face me when he replied he was looking at me but I am sure that he was not seeing me and I believe he was seeing an angel or perhaps many angels. I believe they were preparing him for his journey to the other side.
He was a police officer for 25 years in San Diego hence the angels motto, To Protect and Serve. The 523 on angels banner was his badge number.
This is the first in a line of many more to come. I thought the gold glitter around the wings would signafy the gold badge he wore for so many years but I am thinking that it is not quite right for a "grungy" doll. Will think of another use for the gold glitter, I like it...........
This doll pattern was created by Janelle for Warmheart. When I first saw the pattern I immediately knew that this was the one I would use for Hank's Angels.

Feeling Angels
This month has been very hard for my family and myself. My dad has been very ill for the past two months and passed on Memorial Day morning. My feelings were bittersweet. He was no longer in pain and being the proud man he was, I know that he did not want to live the way he had been living the past two months. I am writing this because although I am very sad I know that death is not the end, it is a begining. While I was sitting with him on the Saturday before he left us I felt the presence of his parents. My beloved grandparents. I saw that my grandmother was smiling. I knew then that it would not be long. He went peacefully and that was what I felt. Peace. There have been many signs this past week that he is still around, I am sure to make sure that all of us are okay. I loved him very much and will miss him terribly.
