four years ago
life started to take...
.
a twist and a turn
sarah's health was failing
quickly
right before our eyes
i recently came across this pic
and posted it on facebook
with the following caption...
Do you believe in miracles? I'm currently uploading photo cards from prior years. This pic just caught me by surprise. It was taken about three months after I left my job in 2009 to care for Sarah fulltime. Her doctor suggested it was time to write a dx of COPD and bring in hospice, as there was nothing more they could do for her. Looking at her tiny frail body, I can almost see why. I am so thankful I was given the courage and strength to not give up on her. Thankful too that my hubby was able to step up his business so we could continue to pay the bills. To-date, we have been hospital free now for 3 1/2 years-the longest stretch in Sarah's 23 years of life.
the seventy two likes
and many comments
took my breath away
it seems our girl
is an inspiration
to many
it's a good reminder to me
to follow the lead
of our creator
the path that is ours
has been masterfully
orchestrated
and i know now
more than ever
we are where
we are supposed to be

She's come a long way and I think having her mom consistently by her side made all the difference. Kudos to you for making the right choice.

of all the people i have known and all the life stories, Sarah's story is by far the best representation I have of God's hand weaving its way through a person's life...she has always inspired me from the time I was little and I know God has many more plans for her in the future :)

I, too, am so grateful for your family's perseverance. I would not be who I am today if not for you, Mr. Ely and Sarah
