I love this photo because it captures one of those perfect moments in life. It happened almost exactly four years ago, and I’ve been remiss in not marking it until today. Every birth is a miracle, but Jake’s carried a special poignancy. Those of you who know our clan remember the agony of watching Serenity walk through pregnancy and cancer at the same time. You wept with us, waited with us, and prayed with us that Jake would grow and the cancer would not.
So, here is a belated Happy Birthday to Jake. And a Happy Second Chance at Life to his gorgeous, glowing, healthy mom.
Amen and Amen!!!!
I’ve seen this photo before, and I love the fact that you are right there in the middle, offering support, glowing with the joy that came at that moment. I LOVE this photo of God’s grace in the flesh.
Oh gosh. I’m crying at work. Long have you all scolded me for sometimes making you do that. And now it’s me. I’m crying at work. Big, FAT, happy tears.
Ah, yes.
