The story of our precious little girl's 17 months of life with Trisomy 18 (July 4, 2010 - December 15, 2011) and of us, re-learning to live "after Lilly."
"I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made ...." Psalm 139:14

A smile worth a million bucks ...


It has been hard to catch Lilly smiling and be able to take a picture! Today's picture is the best I've been able to do. She's not smiling a lot but it's enough to bring absolute joy to us. :)

Recently a couple brought a meal to us. Tucked in the bag with the food was this comforting message:


You are not alone - For God is with you.
You are not defenseless - For God is your protector.
You are not inadequate - For God is your sufficiency.
You are not useless -For God has a purpose for your life.
You are not worthless - For God sent His Son to die for you.
You are not without hope - For God has a place prepared for you.
You are not unloved - For God loves you with an everlasting love.
You are not rejected, or abandoned - For God calls you His own.
