We have also met people who have loved and lost sweet souls with Down syndrome. We are blessed to know them too. They may not be walking the daily path with us but they know...they just KNOW. They know without a word how amazing our little ones are. They understand what a blessing God gave to us all.
Today we received a very generous donation towards our adoption from one of those friends. Kelli is a fellow local oily momma friend. She and her husband have two beautiful daughters and were blessed with a precious son named Elijah who passed into the arms of Jesus. Elijah had Down syndrome just like our girls and our John Preston. Look at that precious face below...isn't he beautiful?
Thank you Kelli and Les. Our family will never forget the gift from your family in Elijah's honor. Each time I see your face, I will remember. I will remember your sweet boy and I will know that he helped to get our boy home to his family.
As I sit here with tears streaming down my face, I am reminded yet again what a big God we serve. He has overcome death and the grave.
You will hold your sweet boy again one day, Kelli.
John Preston will know the love of a mother and a father...the love of siblings and extended family...because God will make it so.
He is making a way...He has knit our stories together through time and space....God is good.
