The Power of a Mother's voice.....

Well, actually, the power of 63 Mother's voices.........

I had heard the accounts of this moment right after it happened from some of my friends who were able to attend the session at the NDSC Convention on 'Welcoming your new baby with Down syndrome'......and I got chills at the time.

Now you are able to read about Baby Grace and how the book [which Emma Sage and I are a part of] GIFTS ~ has touched lives....especially the unborn life of a sweet little girl named Grace.

Read Beverly Beckham's piece in The Boston Globe here......titled Learning Love from Baby Grace.

I read this and got chills too! It's a great testimony to the great impact of this book. Man I wish I could have gone to Boston!

Tara Marie, my sister bought me 'Gifts' in February when my daughter Presley was diagnosed with Ds upon her arrival. (I remember Emma Sage vividly in the book, such a lovely she is).
The book helped my husband and I to embrace this journey the Lord has put us on. We adore our daughter and we want to celebrate her in every way. I love it when I see families and women that I can look to for inspiration. You and your 'sisters' are women who's blogs I have viewed often and felt just that, inspired. Thank you.
