Trisomy 13 - dignity and grace in life and death

Posted Aug 31 2009 10:07pm 1 Comment

The Dallas News carried this story: Choosing Thomas: A family's decision to let their son live, if only for a brief time.

I was so moved and touched by this wonderful couple and their capacity for unconditional love. It was also a gift of love that they celebrated the life of their baby - no matter how brief and no matter how tinged with sadness - and that they chose to share their story with others who could benefit from their example.

This is something you might want to share with your older children. In a world where we are taught that we are entitled to have perfect, unblemished lives, we need to know how to walk through these things ourselves with dignity and grace.
