The Warrior

Last week we received confirmation.

Gideon cries like a kitten.

Of course, we knew that from the first wonderful moment we saw him a little over 3 months ago.

Still, now we know he suffers from cri du chat syndrome. He is missing part of his 5th chromosome.

His large solemn eyes haven't changed a bit. His happy smiles still shine bright. His constant gaze at those I can't see still cause wonder.

An angel baby has been sent to my family. He chose to come get a broken body and he chose our family to grow in.

Think of all the blessings to come! What we'll learn! The mysterious hope of the future looms brightly ahead.

Sure the road will be difficult, but that's why we're here.

What a blessing it is to be Gideon's grandpa.

I just hope I can keep up with him.
