When it wasn't, I'd pray for patience and grace for all of you. When I saw, 'oh baby', the tears started rolling and every time I think of you, they well up and I rejoice in the miracle that is your baby girl. Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. We are so happy for you.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431348708363108841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749875789673750102.post-60856512376138299532011-05-07T11:04:51.793-06:002011-05-07T11:04:51.793-06:00Oh Ashleigh - now I'm sitting here with tears ...Oh Ashleigh - now I'm sitting here with tears streaming down MY face!
