I can't even imagine what you and your wife went through, but it's touching that you went through it together and made the decisions that were best for everyone. Your daughter is a cutie, and it's so special how loving she is!

To hear the way they talk and joke with each other, you'd understand why the only thing they care about is becoming an internet sensation, and close interpersonal relationships don't seem to be a big deal. <br /><br />I hope my daughter can be the cool, odd, caring kid, like Susan in Stargirl (Jerry Spinelli), or like Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird. Or she can just be Lily, my wonderful daughter, and live at home forever.

While the majority of medical people have your best interests in mind, sometimes agendas get involved. It's okay, and sometimes right to say no to a doctor. <br /><br />And say hello to your family. It's been years.

Who cares about high grades or athletic prowess or artistic genius? What makes someone valuable as a person (to me, anyway) is their ability to love and inspire love in others, which your baby seems to have abundantly. <br />Great, now I'm crying. Wonderful post.<br />;)Natalie DeYounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906680301422288990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552170607010033527.post-69542185932197421582013-01-27T08:54:59.355-08:002013-01-27T08:54:59.355-08:00Chris, thank you so much for sharing your story, w...Chris, thank you so much for sharing your story, which is not the first I've heard of people being pressured to abort a normal child. Every child deserves the love you have for your daughter. The respect for life and possibilities and the love of God you've written about makes my heart glad.

There's not a whole lot to do as the Dad during a C-section, (especially since I have no desire to see intestines) so I took a few photos, and luckily captured this moment. The doctors said they'd never seen a preemie do that before.

Even knowing what I was getting into and preparing myself, you still managed to make me cry. I don't often see the serious side of you.
