Living Truth

M-am trezit dupa o noapte plina de ganduri si temeri si am stiut ca am nevoie de o incurajare din Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu...   Fica noastra Marie (care o sa implineasca doi ani luna viitoare), a avut cateva operatii pentru corectarea unor defecte de nastere destul de serioase. Desi este foarte sanatoasa, umblatul in picioare a intarziat destul de mult. Anul trecut a reusit sa faca doar cativa pasi, din cand in cand.

The association of birth defects she was born with often includes severe nuerological issues. Thoughts of a life full of difficulty and possible permenant disability began to nag me. Up until then, I can honestly say that Dinu and I never once thought she wouldn't walk perfectly. We kept our eyes on what
