(The Little Nies in October of 2008)
Just as I am certain that God has a plan for me, I know
He has a plan for these children, and they were meant to be mine.
I wish my children had not had to go through this, but I hope this
experience has taught them how strong they are and
that God is always there for us, especially in our darkest moments.
They will grow up with a special understanding of people who
look different, and I hope that blesses them with compassion and kindness.
My brother Stevie tells me they are learning grace and confidence
from me as I hold my head high in the grocery store while people stare.
I hope so.
I will never know all that my children went
through or all the ways they have been changed,
but what I do know is, today, their future is just as
bright as it was before the accident.
