Thanks, Garin. I think I’d be silly NOT to share, because it helps me see there are so many blessings and good things along with our trials. And goodness, how they make us grow. :)

Amy, my sister Courtney shared this perspective with me too. It’s a thought that some days keeps me going when it’d be much easier to just give up on him. Thanks for always thinking of us. Miss your family.

Alie, My heart just aches for you. When you first posted about Owen, I thought “Them again? This is so unfair.” But as I’ve watched you handle this new trial, as with the passing of Amelia, I have been amazed by your grace and strength. Heavenly Father knows exactly what He’s doing, sending your three sweet babes to you & Tyler. You are amazing. You are inspiring and comforting people through your use of technology. Thank you for candidly sharing your story.

Dear Alie,

I’m sorry. I don’t have any answers. But I’ve heard that when vision isn’t the dominating sense the other senses become more powerful. So maybe Owen was meant to hear things, feel things, smell things, taste things that a visually dominate person would never notice or understand. You take him to the beach and he will hear the surf, smell the ocean, taste the salt in the air, and feel stuff that would slip right past everyone else. The sound of the ocean is beautiful. And if memory serves, there will be quite a few overcast days to make the beach more accessible for y’all.

All our hope that he will see more than the doctors ever thought possible.

Prayers too,
Amy
