Our Little Joe
Our Little Joe

Joe is two years old and my youngest son. He has three older siblings that would rope the moon for him. They are his little therapists at home and are always encouraging him to make that next milestone. The compassion he has taught them to have for others is such a blessing. Joe brings laughter and love into our family that is irreplaceable. His laugh is contagious and Daddy can always get him going and everyone's spirits in the room are lifted. His love is unconditional and sincere. Joe gives the best hugs while he rubs and pats your back, he it truly giving and not expecting anything in return. Joe climbs to the top of his little slide and will sit at the top to take in the view and explore before he races down. Almost as if he was reminding me to stop and appreciate the moment before I race off to the next task. Joe's story has just begun, he has taught our family so much and will continue to teach us. God has big plans for Joe not only in our family but with everyone he meets.

This mother so vividly shares the love and joy in her family and is aware and appreciative of each moment.
