As soon as you see Alosha again you will remember why he is meant to be part of your family. :)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13677010442934664757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279970939643190186.post-40167155189770827102009-07-08T06:58:42.926-07:002009-07-08T06:58:42.926-07:00Be encouraged.

She has done almost everything she ever wanted to do. Her life has had more challenges, and more pain than most, but she doesn't see herself as different in any way. Five years ago, her first grandson was born with a mild form of SB. It was not discovered until he had severe meningitis. He recovered fully and his spine was successfully closed. In August, he will walk into Kindergarten with his classmates. <br />Blessings on your journey. I'm so excited that Alexsey is coming home soon!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234405670230407984noreply@blogger.com
