Happy Heart Day Annabelle — six years later

Happy Heart Day Annabelle — six years later

HAPPY 4th HEART-BIRTHDAY ANNABELLE!!!

HAPPY 4th HEART-BIRTHDAY ANNABELLE!!!

This is probably the most exciting and the most difficult post to write each year. FOUR years ago today, our daughter received the most amazing gift. The gift of LIFE. Not of eternal life—we know that gift comes from JESUS as we just celebrated. But no, a gift of life here on Earth, of extra […]
