Your testimony is a true testam...Dearest Stacey, <br /><br />Your testimony is a true testament to the sanctity of life. Your courage, and utter devotion to the baby God gave you gives me such hope that maybe the world isn't as bad as it seems sometimes. <br /><br />I found your blog through a friend who couldn't wait to share it with me. She knew your words would resonate in my heart. While I have never had to face the losses you have had to face, I know what it is like to have a baby that many in the world think would be better off unborn. <br /><br />My son, Liam, is 9 and was born with down syndrome. He continues to be the the light in my life and the child through whom i always feel God's love. Liam is the oldest of three and I constantly wonder why I was chosen to be his mommy. I feel so lucky yet always unworthy. Your post about the Velveteen rabbit and becoming real really hit home with me. The journey to real has been painful but I wouldn't trade the real me I am today for the person I was before he came to me for anything. Liam has taught me about what life is really about - how unimportant all the things i used to worry about really are, and that love is really all that matters. <br />Words will never be able to adequately express how much your blog touches me. It touches me because it gives me such hope that there are people out there who would choose to keep their baby that most people would abort. Did you know that 98 percent of people who find out prenatally that their baby has down syndrome, abort? The ignorance is just heart breaking. I always think, "if they could just meet Liam." And, I have had people tell me that meeting Liam changed their mind about abortion and I am sure angels sing when that happens. <br />You are gifted, and certainly God is using your eloquence for his purpose. I hope to meet you someday. You are an amazing woman and mommy and I wish you all the love, joy and happiness this life of ours has to offer. You will see your Rachel again. <br />Love, Sarra DennehySarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625736760449186488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-87048407168215934422010-12-31T13:32:55.901-05:002010-12-31T13:32:55.901-05:00Oh Stacy.
