Struggles

I saw this quote today on a fellow blogger and microcephaly moms page:

"Motherhood is about raising - and celebrating - the child you have, not the child you thought you'd have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be."

~The Water Giver

This AMAZING family has not one but two boys with the same condition as Parker. Microcephaly is a horrible word, horrible condition and it is inevitable that one day it will take your life. Their 3 year old boy, Aidan is on hospice right now. He has fought one hard battle but his body is shutting down. There are no words that can describe how a parent feels watching their child suffer. This family has watched not only watched Aidan suffer, they have also watched their son Ty suffer as well. I think that God picks people....strong people to deal with situations like this. My heart breaks for this family. Its so sad when a condition like this takes over your child's body and there is nothing else you can do but keep them comfortable. Please pray for the Tellinghuisen famliy.
