Children with disabilities are like butterflies with a broken wing. They are just as beautiful as all others, but they need help to spread their wings.

Tiny Hand of Hope
A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner.
The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.
During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. During the surgery on little Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger.
The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, “Hand of Hope.” The text explaining the picture begins, “The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother’s uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.”
Little Samuel’s mother said they “wept for days” when they saw the picture. She said, “The photo reminds us pregnancy isn’t about disability or an illness, it’s about a little person” Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome…incredible.
Don’t forget to pass it on! The world needs to see this one!

Please Pray For My Dad
What hurts more than your own pain is seeing someone you care about
in pain and knowing exactly how they feel.
in pain and knowing exactly how they feel.
You keep wishing you can make it go away
but you know that you just can't.
Heartbroken Again? Try Moving On. Don't Waste Time.
I don't understand.
How can a person can tell you so many lies and never feel bad about it?
I won't look for love, I'll let Love find me.
And if it yields the same person, then you must be my destiny.
Sometimes you just need to distance yourself from people.
If they care, they will notice and will be bothered.
If they don't, you know where you stand.
I still keep looking at my phone even though I know you won't text.
I'm not made of stone, I have feelings.
