I always knew I would be a wife and mother so much I dreamt of it in my early teens. And even though I married later in life I still believed. Shortly after marriage we prepared for our baby. Then suddenly all the excitement, hopes and plans that went along with parenting a child on earth were short lived. Our son was born with Trisomy 18. The Lord obviously was prepping me my entire life by caring for others on their death bed for such a moment with my boy. I was able to prepare my boy for heaven. This journey has strengthened my walk with the Lord beyond all my expectations. And leaves me grieving with great hope.
