Wow...

I do have new Jacob pictures to share but tonight I have (via Suzanne) discovered something very powerful. Su was watching Oprah today and there was a feature on a young couple who had a child two years ago with Triscenomy 18. Below is a small piece of Eliot's story. I must warn you...you will not make it 45 seconds without crying. If you watch it twice, you will cry harder. However, I assure you the video will make you forget about the economy, who's going to be president, and/or any personal issues you are currently facing. I only wish I had 1% of this couple's strength and am truly and surprisingly at a loss for words after watching the video and viewing their blogs and reading their words.



I have included Eliot's blog under the "our friends" category over to the right.
By the way, the couple has a healthy new baby and a new blog, which you can link from the original.

I will watch it, but I can't afford the tears right now. I'll check back later.

I am so glad I waited for the right time to watch it. How uplifting and sad at the same time. Stories like this remind me to always be thankful for my three little blessings- even if it is 3 a.m.! They are truly gifts from God.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Love, Nicole
