Wow Thank you for sharing that with us...
I love knowing others who also believe life is not a choice for us to take, but a gift given from God.

It is the on going story of a husband who's wife has cystic fibrosis and as she approached her double lung transplant found out she was pregnant. They also made the choice to give their daughter life, she is doing well while only born at 25 weeks.
