Some of you might not know this. Agnes carried a child to term after finding out it was a boy (the only boy) and had a rare Brittle Bone Disease. I remember her phone call that day. We were both to tears. It was heartbreaking. The doctors said, as Desiree mentioned, the baby will not survive. "Termination" was the option they offered. (When I was pregnant with my Diego and found out he would be a Down Syndrome baby, they asked if I would like to terminate it, and they asked nonchalantly. Absolutely NOT! This life isn't ours to terminate.) Who are we to terminate innocent lives?
EVAN lived nine beautiful days. Much longer than what the doctors anticipated. He would've been 8 years old this year.
So if anyone knows about immense pain and heartaches, Agnes does.
If anyone knows about God's mercy and undying LOVE, she does.
If anyone knows about HOPE, she does.
If anyone knows about prayers being answered, she does.
If anyone knows about staying strong and solely relying on God's strength, she does.
If anyone knows God's Word is True, she does.
And NO ONE can take that away from her.

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord." And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” ~Isaiah 55:8
