The family of 15's

What I dubbed the family of 15's is the mothers, fathers, siblings, ho have a child in the family with an extra 15th chromosome, and of course the children themselves that have this rare duplication. These families have become my support, hope, friends, understanding, and of course love in the past few months. They have all the qualities of a family even if we have never or will never meet in person.
I have cried at the set backs of these families and relished in the triumphs. I know we were all chosen to be a part of these children's lives by God and each others lives. This has brought us all together and for that I am thankful everyday.
In biblical numerology 15 means: deals with the energy that is found within the acts of divine grace.
This is true of all these families!
I know today's blog is short and it's been a while since I posted, but I was inclined to write this while thinking of a friends little boy today. Keep our children in your hearts they are gifts and have so much to offer the world. Look past their delays and see the sunshine that radiates from them :)
