Tears from Blind Eyes
"How's my little girl?" asked my uncle reaching out to his daughter pulling her close. She giggled and my heart drooled as I watched him give her a loving hug and a kiss.

Why Me?
"Boy, God must really be gunning for you!"
As the tears began to stream down my face, I was grateful we were working in the relative darkness of an ultrasound room. The comment made by a nurse was simply an off-handed remark. The words themselves were harmless, but they gained power and cut deep because they echoed the feelings that... >Read More
