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.
Be sure to visit the Living with Trisomy 13 org website. You can read over 300 inspirational stories of those who have chosen to carry to term and love these very precious children. Some for days and some for years.
