We learned this while walking our journey with our son who lived with cancer for 14 months. When your child lives with a serious illness they live with such grace. That God-given grace can't help but change people's hearts, inspire strength and courage and compel you to chose love and joy despite whatever challenges come. It is such a blessing to witness such light. Please know we are keeping your precious girl in our hearts and prayers. <br />In Christ,<br />Maria (mama of five, three at home, one in Heaven and one beautiful baby girl waiting in China)mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003545352470124820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217696818361310354.post-38491255777951707812012-10-19T08:04:59.776-07:002012-10-19T08:04:59.776-07:00
