Kissing Parker Ann good night tonight was very different from what it was a year ago. I am so grateful, and realize how blessed we are. I feel secure and at peace about her future. She is the happiest little girl. Her light, smile, and happiness is her gift she shares with all she meets.
At the end of this month, we have spent 16 weeks away from home attending Conductive Education intensive therapy. Last year Parker couldn't hardly track a toy with her eyes, little alone reach, roll, sit up, crawl, walk, talk, and follow simple instruction. I am over joyed to say hope lives in Parker. In her own way she is now doing all of these things. I find Parker's determination for life so admirable.
Clay and I are overwhelmed with gratitude to our Father in Heaven for the miracles and blessings that both of our children bring to our lives. I know Vander is the big brother Parker Ann asked for. I am learning to celebrate the journey, it is just as perfectly imperfect as we are. Good and bad. I wouldn't change it. I am happy to know that no matter what happens in life, I have good company to experience it with. Thank you all family and friends for the love, prayers of hope, and support we have undeniably seen in our lives over this last year.
Love,
