Story Behind The Shirt



One Year ago I was preparing all the little girl thing...bows, skirts, and boots. But Still I was unsure of what to expect, There weren't any books(that we Knew of). Who expects to wake up and says "i think i'm going to have a special child!". As we embarked on the unknown, we befriended NICU nurses who told us what we might expect. We met some not so nice people too. Through  Kennedy's Struggles, We, as a couple became stronger and began making decisions better. But on the other side......It made us tell the cold hard truth. We became stronger people. As we became a better pair, we learned we were expecting our rainbow. Everyone kept telling me how strong i was...truth is i am weak, i wanted to yell and scream with fear. It wasn't until I had a BIG LONG talk with BIG MAN UPSTAIRS! I was weak until HE gave me the strength. So i Set out to find a "cliche" way of showing how strong i felt. It just happened to be a superman shirt. Which happens to be our nephews "signature" through his Kidney Fight. I killed two birds with one shot.



If anyone has any question or were just wonder please feel free to ask, we are and open book

Mad old woman

The Other day while out and about I had an older woman ask "Do you Know God?".....I guess it must have had something to do with the big belly and no ring. But I looked at her and smiled and said "ma'am If you knew God the way I do you wouldn't be asking that question." She looked baffled but continued " How is that?". I continued to tell her "After loosing my daughter 22 days after she was born to a defect, I pray, you never have to see. My faith is bigger than anything a church can hold. Me and God, we have had our  fair share of fights but I am blessed to have known my daughter. My faith it shook but I still stand stronger than ever with my HUSBAND beside me." At this point a couple of her friends had gathered and all of them had watery eyes. I countined to tell them " I maybe young, I may not know a lot, but my daughter in her 22 days taught me more than any school or church could teach me. Don't feel sorry for me, but rather yet pray your kids, grandkids aren't affected but a Congenital Heart Defect. So to answer your question......Yes I know God, I know him in my heart, He Lives on my couch, He is taking care of my daughter until I can get there." They were all just standing there with there 60+ brains blown to shreds. I didn't mean to go off on them but it seem like in this small town they are judging a young pregnant woman who took off her wedding ring to do house work. So I had had enough and yeah I may have made some enemies but at least she could go back to her church and tell them about me. and maybe Just maybe one person will listen and learn and start to ask questions.......
