One day I had a special delivery from heaven. I became the mother of a baby boy with bright blue eyes and blonde hair. Joey just happened to have Down Syndrome, a heart defect and health issues. This story is a recap of only fifteen months with my special gift. I refer to Joey, as my special snowflake throughout this book. What may have seemed to be a tragedy, turned out to be the very opposite. The challenges came with many blessings as I experienced the wraparound presence and love of my Savior Jesus Christ. This is my testimony about a little snowflake that lives in my heart forever. My experiences with my special delivery brought me into a closer walk with my heavenly Father. I would do over in a heartbeat. My prayer is that this story will give others hope, build faith, and experience the love of God for themselves. Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man of he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" Matthew 16:26 (The Living Bible) "What profit is there, if you gain the whole world - and lose eternal life?"
