Had she not been I'd never have met her that day at the orphanage. She would not have her beautiful family. These medical needs our kids have are marks of God's love for all of us. They are how we came together as families. Our Lord gave Cali spina bifida as a gift knowing exactly where it would take her. We Catholics have a prayer we say that refers to this life as "this our exile." Truly it is. Part of Cali's exile is that spina bifida. I believe it will help her soul soar to a higher place in Heaven. I sure do love y'all. I do hope we meet in person soon.KTLgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663068696000570400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157077173425697905.post-7896471016353322552013-05-08T04:25:12.062-06:002013-05-08T04:25:12.062-06:00Jer - this one is so powerful - it covers all of t...Jer - this one is so powerful - it covers all of the emotions that we feel for our kids...and I too know that Cali will someday stand! And Elli - well dude - she's cool!<br /><br />the joy and the sorrow - the, what is the word - emptiness - that we feel when we can't meet our child's needs (at least on this earth or for this time)...<br /><br />And Graci - know that there is not a day that passes that we don't think of and pray for you and your family!<br /><br />Thanks for the call dude - one day I won't need these dang hearing aids and we'll actually be able to speak! ;)<br /><br />love you guys - hugs around - aus and co.Aushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740211277947404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157077173425697905.post-68676579203110801652013-05-07T09:18:02.498-06:002013-05-07T09:18:02.498-06:00It is starting to look like a house!
