Brand New Wings by Peter Brandon is the song we played at Olivia's funeral and it really means a lot to Nick and I. The Saturday after she died we were sitting on our couch searching for a song. It didn't take even 30 seconds of playing this one that I knew. We found it on YouTube but we couldn't find it anywhere else. Finally, my sister e-mailed the artist and he sent it to us to use.
I have not listened since the funeral but I know the words as well as the songs that I hear on the radio every day. It plays in my head at least 2-3 times a day. I listened to it this morning because we picked out Olivia's headstone yesterday there will be a line from the song on it.
"God needed one little angel and you were his top candidate."
Everyone always wonders "why?" and that is the only reason that I can come up with. That for some reason God chose her.
I thought of the song whole time we were at Miller Monuments yesterday. We chose blue silk granite. It is a beautiful purple stone that is so unique. They will do three designs for us. It should take 2 weeks to get the designs back and then once we choose the shape, they will order the stone. Hopefully, her stone will be in place by August or September.
