It's My Life (cont.)...

or Happy Birthday to the Light of My Life

It's hard to believe that the little girl who came to live with us when she was about 9 months old is turning 13 years old today. This is the little girl that doctors told us would probably not live past 2 years and even if she did would never be able to roll over, walk, talk, see, or hear. This is the little girl who has taught me more about the grace of God than any theological treatise or sermon ever did. This is the little girl who shows me on a daily basis what unconditional love is really like. This is the little girl who helped cultivate compassion and patience in our sons. This is the little girl who sings along with her Barney videos and head bangs to Minor Threat with her brothers. I am so grateful she is my daughter.
