One More Miracle Moment

Moments like these just don't happen.

Moments like these are miracles from GOD.

These moments are possible because of prayers that never cease and because of a GOD that continues to bless our lives.

He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

Job 9:10

74 hours after Addie was born, we were sitting across from Dr. Dudgeon in the exam room at Greenvale Pediatrics.

I was wearing my maternity jeans, black maternity sweater and black slip on shoes because nothing else fit.

I was without my wedding rings, earrings or make-up.

I was incredibly swollen, in pain and trying desperately to look deep into the eyes of a doctor from whom I needed answers.

We were talking minutes before those fateful words came out of his mouth, the words when he told me that it was "hard enough recovering from having a baby and major surgery, much less having to take care of a special needs baby".

I was telling him that it was okay if Addie never became a ballerina, that we would find other things in life that she could do.

I meant those words and I said them without tears because I somehow knew that those words rang true.

Ten months later, I sat in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby talking on the phone to a beautiful woman who I had never met.

My voice was shaking as I was telling her that we should not use flash when taking Addie's upcoming pictures and that, yes, it would be so special to us if she took a picture of Addie wearing a tutu (because that may be our only opportunity in life for that to happen).
Kim was placed into our lives to be a part of a miracle yet to come.
Tonight, it was Kim that captured that miracle for all the world to see.
