The Prettiest Gem ~ a Sapphire

Six years ago a beautiful young lady, whom we cherish dearly, gave birth to a perfect and tiny 2lb 9oz little Sapphire! Even though she made her entrance to the world slightly early she was a fighter (a trait that she has kept), she was never unwanted, unloved or unexpected! Her mother gave her heart to this little girl and through the years I see her mother's heart in her and see the love she has for her birthmom. I have no idea the pain that she went through or the joy she felt as she finally got to hold her miracle and take her home. How many hours she held her, watching her sleep, breath peacefully, study every feature of her beautiful face. How many hours did she pray that God would give her another miracle and allow her to raise her on her own... ...that miracle didn't come for her. On October 9th I do a lot of crying!! I hurt for her and am frustrated at life. Why we have so much and take everything for granted. How we couldn't even imagine how many people don't have a CHOICE to make - the choices are made for them and they have to live through that. Why do we live so comfortably when most of the world struggles with real 'stuff'. But even though we don't understand why God wouldn't have given her that - we pray she has been given peace, comfort and love. Our family accepted our undeserving gift and have had almost six years of laughter, tears and astonishing moments with our daughter - whom God saw us fit enough to raise to know and follow Him. What a journey it will be!!! Olivia Sapphire - you are loved by so many!!!! Let the party begin!!
