Last week at the grocery store I made eye contact with the woman behind me. She glanced at David with sad eyes, then looked back at me and shook her head. She saw his small hand with only two fingers. She heard him vocalizing sounds that didn’t form words. She could tell he had a disability.
Pity. That’s what she felt for David. Her face spoke a thousand words. I fought back the stinging tears and tried to swallow the lump in my throat. I turned around, pulled my shoulders back and stood up straighter. I looked at David and focused on the mischievous twinkle in his eye and the sweet smile on his lips. I took a moment and soaked him in.
If worth is measured by academic achievement and college degrees, we have a very sad situation.
If value is determined by dollars in your bank account or the car you drive, we have reason to worry.
If quality of life is based on athletic ability or the physical beauty, David is excluded.
But, if worth is determined by a loving God who knows you by name, then we have hope.

So much hope.
If value is measured belly laughs that begin in your toes, and pure joy that radiates from your soul, then we are rich.
If quality of life is based hugs and kisses and cuddles, then we certainly don’t need pity. We have everything we need.

Yes, David’s body is broken–he has a disability. There are many things in life he will never accomplish. But those things don’t determine his worth or value.
His heart is whole. His soul is strong and powerful. He freely gives and receives love. When I look at him, I feel no pity. When I look at him, I’m overcome with admiration. Then I take him in my arms and squeeze him as tightly as I can.
God bless you and your precious little man he is amazing and wonderful and hhe God’s love all over him you are his champion and Angel and God’s eyes ears an mouth piece may you always have the strength to know people may not always recognize your blessings but you do and so does that precious son of yours and that’s all that truly matters
God doesn’t make mistakes. He is perfect…..and so are you!
You are so right! God’s creation is perfect! Why does the world believe that people with disabilities cannot achieve their full potential and be happy? It is this kind of thinking that makes others feel pity for children with special needs.
It’s sad the way of the world I’d backwards wrong ahs treats ppl unfair, to know you don’t let this things our ppl get in your way or affect your life show s your determination …your word are beautiful and I hope this spreads because we are who we are there’s no changing our physical appearance s …but maybe we cab focus inn changingthe way people think just a few words at a time…He’s beautiful andfrom the sound of it so are his parents
Such beautiful words! If we all could know our true worth comes from God who knew us before we were even formed in the womb. What a wonderful love.
Amen amen amen!!!!! This is so good and so true. Well said.
The lessons of greatest worth are those for which the LORD requires that our lives live out His precious words of love and the promises He packages them in. For me, the words I will always remember as being spoken to my heart through His still, small voice, was “My grace is sufficient”. And it was in direct response to a prayer I was offering up for my very dear friend, as I drove past her house, as I did every day, on my way to work. She was at home, caring for her dear daughter, who was 22 at the time, but at 2 months old, she suffered severe brain damage as a result of meningitis. So every day, she and her husband shared the extensive care that was required to keep Katie bathed, fed, and comfortable. She never walked, talked, played, went to school, and the list could go on. BUT God….those were my friend’s favorite 2 words to preface what she was about to share of how He took them through what was ultimately a 23 year journey, and how the experience was on levels that only those who are called to such a life of “hidden” joy and peace, and love, and depth of heart and soul that comes from this special calling. For me and the 5 short years I had with my son, it became moments of a “glimpse of heaven”, when the LORD allows us to experience Him in the nearest way possible while we’re still here on earth. And His grace is sufficient. I don’t believe that saying, “God never gives you more than you can handle”. Ummmm, oh yes, He does! But He always gives us enough grace to bear it. Because His grace is always sufficient. To not have learned that truth, through those trials that are too much to bear….I wouldn’t trade the pain and the knowing for anything else. God bless you as you walk this life He has so specially chosen for you and your whole family! There is and will continue to be much fruit, so keep sharing the great things He hath done.
One of my dearest long time friends has a child with very obvious visual physical and mental disability. I have learned much from observing her and how she deals with people’s “pity” be it just the “look” or actual comments on how she “copes with being dealt such a burden”. (SERIOUSLY!!! who says that #$%!!!?) But the child- similar to what you stated- her body might be broken- but the love flows freely and that is something truly joyous to see if you are blessed enough to witness.
Thank you for sharing. <3
Hello Lisa, I appreciate your resolve and reaction. However, perhaps her reaction was a moment of empathy for her own situation. Allow me to explain. Like you, I have a special needs child, and like you I have the resolve to see the beauty and gift of love that he encompasses. However, if I’m being completely honest there are moments when I’m overwhelmed by it all, and I can’t stand as tall and for a second or two…never around him thankfully…I get weak and I feel an overwhelming sadness. Typically, it’s a sadness for the life he’ll never have, the challenges he’ll always face, and the judgement he will most definitely receive. Sometimes it’s when I see a little boy in a baseball uniform or my friends post a picture of their honor roll student of the month…and sometimes it happens when I see a younger version of myself proudly holding the hand of their young special needs child…as I have always done. What I’m trying to say is that perhaps in that moment the pity you felt she was giving your son, may have just been pity she felt for herself best described as a moment of personal empathy…not for you…not for him…but for her.
Your son is beautiful! I have pity for that woman. She needs love from a child like David. Then she would know love.
The thing that everyone fails to realize, is we all are disabled. David will accomplish things that most of us forget at an early age. He gives pure unconditional love. This is what we are all meant to do but we allow outside issues to cloud our lives. We forget the joy of acceptance. We should all strive to be like David. An angel on earth is sent to be our teacher.
Well said, Lisa, you have a way with words. I was a teacher for kids with special needs for 30 years and I know how much WE can learn from them and what THEY teach us. They are beautiful souls on this Earth and have a purpose to teach us compassion, love and courage.
Beautifully said Lisa- my 6 yr old daughter has Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. I noticed when people say things like “I’m sorry ” or show that look of pity, They aren’t always being mean spirited , they just have no clue b/c they aren’t living our life – doesnt mean it doesn’t kill me on the inside to hear those things or see the stares , I just try to find opportunities to educate and let them know that I’m not “sorry ” she is born and I tell my daughters if they see a person that looks different , not to stare but to smile
I’m wearing my jewelry more proudly now, knowing you are a fellow special-needs mom. Thanks 🙂
Beautiful! David is so blessed to have you for his mother and I am sure he has blessed you in immeasurable ways!
You help me to see things in a beautiful light! Thank you! I look forward to reading your posts! Something I NEED in my life right now!
You have a beautiful son. He will accomplish many things in his lifetime. Not every able person can even accomplish everything! My mother was born with 1 hand and raised 3 children , had a husband and we had a very clean house while we were growing up. 1/2 the time we didn’t even realize her disability. That lady and many others need a reality check. Give your boy a big hug from our family. Xoxox
I feel so blessed to have had the neighbors, I had when my dad was stationed in Germany. The lady took care of two boys with CP, I knew they were different from me because they were in a wheelchair, one was more vocal and had more mobility than the other but I aside from that I saw them as friends. I enjoyed the days I got to play with them, they enriched my life – way more than I did theirs! I wish everyone could have a similar opportunity.
You are a wonderful mother and beautiful woman both inside and out. You are an inspiration to all mothers and have a beautiful family.
I would hope that you misread her expression. That, perhaps, she was remembering a loved one that either had a disability, or that had a child with a disability. That she was realizing that the child, and the mom’s life would never be normal. Kind of like finding out your teenager is pregnant. Babies are a blessing, even if we mourn for the life the mom will never have.
I can also understand the surprise when you have a baby, and when you find out about “something is different!” It is a shock. Everyone reading this, don’t be too hard on the other woman, either. She likely didn’t know how to respond. Not everyone is able to see something different, and take it in, process it, and react in the exact way we want them too. Hopefully she will get better.
Lisa, your words are a balm to my mama’s heart. My sweet sweet 4 yo son has severe Spastic Quad Cerebral Palsy. He is happy and an absolute joy. I have seen the looks if pity and one lady had the audacity to tell me I must not have much hope. Quite the opposite. We are full of hope. Love your blog!
David you are truly a special blessing and you are truly loved by your family and in God’s eyes!!! I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. Lisa – you are a strong and courageous woman and I know that you realize the gift you have in your son David. Love to all!!!
Cornelia De Lang syndrome I believe he has? My little sister has it. She’s such a blessing. I love seeing his smiling face. God bless your family!!! ❤
Pity is a first step, but it limits the person or people it is directed to. I disagree with piling on the woman who gave Lisa and David a pitying look. When you know better you do better and my guess is most people haven’t had extensive experience or knowledge of people who are different, especially when that difference is clearly visible. I learned so much when I had a blind student in my class and his support specialist explained to me and my staff that we should never pity him because he wouldn’t always be four years old, he would grow up and need to be a competent and confident person. It changed my outlook forever.
She was only responding in the way she knew how. Maybe she was never taught compassion for others? She shouldn’t be pitied either. Everyone has a story. May God continue to Bless you and your absolutely beautiful family!
Sometimes we get looked at with pity or sheer disgust when our middle guy Logan acts out or has an outburst. Then there are the times after he seized when people stare – I’ve even had the police called on me once. I try so very hard to thwart those glances, but I’m thankful that Logan can not comprehend them and that we teach our other children compassion and understanding. David is beautiful- keep on keeping on ❤️
Being a parent of a child with a disability teaches the true meaning of unconditional love…not only in what we give but what we receive. Love truly needs no words. I often feel the same way we don’t seek pity we seek understanding and acceptance.
I worked at home called Sunshine Children’s home for 7 yrs ,a had a toddler that grew with these children,what a great experience for him/us,I had a little guy I brought home all the time,wheelchair bound ,also no ledge able words to others,to us my son knew what he wanted and what he enjoyed,he never looked forward to when our little guy had to go home.He learned so much,how these children were not something to just stare at or be afraid of,he would run up to kids or people in general in chairs or looked different like they were just like him ,because he knew they were the same.I wish everyone would teach their children this ,how much happier this world would be
Dear Lisa and friends, as a mother of a 30 year old daughter with disabilities, don’t be angry at the woman, I believe the look was more for empathy, I would like to think that she was sad that your son had to suffer at all. I have had such looks over the years . What people fail to realize is that this child has a purpose. Everyone that comes in contact with my daughter from teachers to doctors, friends and family learn things. patience, acceptance, medical knowledge, happiness, strength, to never give up, and that the preconceived notions about children born with any disability don’t apply. Every person born has a part to play and GOD does not make mistakes. Neither are disabilities a curse from GOD. If anything She has been my gift from GOD. I’m not trying to be preachy but I love my child and she has taught me so much.
Over 7 years ago I thought started working for an agency that places me in a home with a child with special needs. I could have never imagined how my life would be forever changed. I realized God gives these kids to only a select few. They are so precious and rare and change the lives of everyone who take the time to know them. They show us the true meaning of love, trust, and innocence. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful gift into this world. It is a shame that some people will never know the joy that these kids bring to those that know them.
I had hinted to my husband to buy me the sunburst ring for Christmas .It kept popping up in my fb news feed and I loved it its the first piece of jewelry I had ever specifically asked for in 23 years of us being together. Until today I never new the backstory of the jewelry or the designer ! It just makes it all that more meaningful of a purchase to me especially because someone near and dear to my hurt has a disability and she is only three but the entire family treats her like everyone else and just like all the other 13 cousins. …we love them, tease them , play with them , scold them all equally ….

Lisa, Please check this website out! It is for the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, in Philadelphia. People come from all over the World to attend seminars and get very good help for their brain-injured/Autistic kids. http://www.iahp.org/hurt-kids/
Lisa,
God Bless you and your family. I pity the women who made you feel so awful. You sound like an amazing, women and mother. You are so right, you’ve got your family and all the love you all need.
God only gives his special angels to the ones who will let them shine!!! You have an angel that hears God and talks through his heart with love. What a blessing to be given to be his, Davids, mom. Those who can not smile and love him are missing a blessing. God doesn’t give us what we want he gives us what we need. Some need an angel to make them realize life is hard but if we look at our blessings we understand why God chose us for the task at hand. I have just started reading your blog. Your family is amazing and little David is shining light for all to see. Let him continue to shine and hopefully people will only see what you get to see a rambunctious boy loving life!!!! God bless!!!
Lisa,
I just finished reading snippets of posts about David and then this one and I’ve caught myself tearing up. I have cerebral palsy and I’ve had the pity look when I was younger. People who have thought I was mentally handicapped. And a lot of little kids who’ve looked at me kinda taken aback. I have a deep deep love for moms and older people (like grandparent age) because they seem to understand we are worthy and good enough as we are and they love us. I’ve never understood the pity, like almost fear when we’re no different than someone “able” in wanting to be loved.
I get so confused sometimes over why I feel closer to moms than those my own age–besides for two–I think I’m drawn to way God shows himself. Intensely loving at all costs. Kind and patient and gentle. I pray God blesses you and David. Thank you for making me appreciate my own mom, too 🙂
He is David and he has life, make the most of it and teach him he is all that he believes he can be… He is normal, this is his life – he has all he needs, now live life to the fullest….
Much love and choicest blessings for David…
I feel sadness sometimes when I see a child who has disabilities. Not pity, but a sadness for them and their family. A love for a mother and child is no greater and they are lucky to have that child. Do not misjudge my sadness for pity.
Maybe it wasn’t pity exactly, maybe like some of us, she felt inferior to you as well as admiration for someone like yourself who whatever the obstacles, carries on and raises a loving and beautiful child.
First when I read this, the tears started because David is amazing! I wish all could see what a beautiful boy he is. Then, the tears started because you sum up what gives us value so perfectly. What a touching post. My son was born with cleft lip/palate and I’ve had people ask if we’re going to get his lip fixed (he’s already had surgery). I’ve felt so offended and hurt, but the funny thing is, when I look at him, I see perfection. I can’t imagine him ‘looking’ any other way. Every line, every part of him, makes him my beautiful, adorable boy.
God made every child special …. David is special in gods eyes and everyone else . This story is amazing !!!! U seem like u are such a great person inside and out . Your jewelry is amazing !!!!!
I shout to cheer support – and even more so admiration – but sound is caught in my throat by the lump there.
As moving and beautiful and strong as any words I’ve ever read on the Internet.
He’s perfectly David, perfectly your son, perfectly a brother and perfectly God’s precious child!
Morning,
I love your blog, your photos (and jewelry too!!!), which has become my morning routine with inspiration to begin my day. Although my life is “not perfect” with not much to complain about or worth complaining about……. All of us have imperfections and disabilities of some nature. Yes, All of US!
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE = TRUE LOVE!!!
God bless you, Lisa, for seeing the true worth and dignity of your son. He is blessed to have you for his mom!
You are both champions! Worth more than Gold! My mother always affirmed us with the Love of God, our Heavenly Father who knows us by name, who knit us together in her womb, who prepared good works for us in advance, who holds the destiny of our lives. That is the very same affirmation that kept me going thru the hardest years of my life. ❤️ Our heavenly fathers love….our mothers encouragement to embrace life with His strength. This could be the most beautifully written blog I’ve ever read….Such a beautiful love in a society brazenly proud to discard those they find invaluable. ?
Your love for your family always touches me, Lisa. Lots of love to you. xo
Beautiful, Lisa.
Lisa,
You don’t know me but I’m a huge fan of your twin sister. I stumbled upon your blog and have been super encouraged by your words. Both you and your sister are über talented and I love the way you both pour into others and love well. I pray that God would continue to use you. That he would draw near to you on days that are difficult and on days that are filled with responses of the people of this fallen world that are hard to bare.
GOD made David Special… Missing fingers don’t mean David don’t have or can’t give LOVE just like anyone else..He is just like GOD made him… Hang in there Lisa, It doesn’t NOTHING . I KNOW IT BOTHERS YOU TO SEE PEOPLE GIVE DAVID STRANGE LOOKS.. I got a TWIN sister is mental… WE get the same looks…
I love the love you have for your son! It is unconditional and pure and whole, the same kind I have for my babies. Thank you for sharing.
I hope that when I have the occasion to be in the presence of people with a disability that my facial expressions reveal the love and admiration of one of God’s most perfect creations. I have enjoyed following you, Lisa and your sweet David brings me many smiles. He radiates such warmth and genuine love. Just looking at that perfect and sweet smiling face melts my heart and makes my day.
How blessed David is to have a mom like you who values him just as he was created by a Creator who makes no mistakes! This is beautifully written.
Wow – you have summed up it all up so well. David has a pure soul and that should be an example to us all. It is a dangerous path that we are headed along where disabilities of any kind are grounds for taking of life before birth, and designer babies. David and others like him have so much to teach us and we need the David’s in our lives. Well said proud Momma.
My baby Sarah is 10 weeks old. She was born without a left arm. This is all so new to me. I have no idea how to react in that situation and I’m not sure I ever will but learning from other moms going through similar situations will hopefully help me. When Sarah was only a couple weeks old she had to have her hips and kidneys ultrasounded just checking for any genetic disorders. The ultrasound tech actual said “that’s so sad” when she was looking down at her nub and doing the ultrasound. I really wish I could have reacted but I said nothing. I wanted to say “What’s sad? This beautiful life laying here before you that will be just fine with one arm? This baby that is a blessing to me that I should have lost when I was in a horrible car wreck when I was only 8 weeks pregnant with her? Why is that sad???”
Thank you for sharing your life and experiences!
She will be stronger because of it. You sound like one amazing mama–ten weeks in and you’re treasuring her for who she is. This road won’t be easy but it holds great beauty. Hugs to you, Laura! xo
I would recommend you check out Born Just Right and the Lucky Fin Project as two great resources as you begin this journey with your baby girl.
Hey Amy both are great recommendations! I found both of those when my Sarah was born and have found much support from both of those groups 🙂
Have you read Adam Collins journey on Facebook? He and David are my inspiration! Always see the person from the inside out and what each one of us brings from God to share with the rest of the world!
A life lived with unconditional love is a life well lived.
She isn’t seeing the precious angel from God and what a blessing his pure soul is. So untouched from this ugly world. Being a preschool teacher my favorite part is looking into their precious eyes and seeing nothing but purity and trust. He’s such a blessing. Pity she couldn’t see that!
Sometimes a person doesn’t understand what their expression can impart…I would like to think that this person meant well, but in reality, she is the one who should be pitied…she obviously has never experienced the love that David brings to your life. God hasn’t blessed her as he has you! Your family knows what love and life are all about!
That is awesome Lisa, I LOVE it! Rich in so many ways….ways that REALLy matter!
Beautifully said. A happy life doesn’t always look like people think it should.
Beautifully written, Lisa…….we all can learn something from reading your blogs……
I am a school nurse and I work with students like David everyday. I even a a little boy with his same diagnosis. I have admired your jewelry for a while now. Not too long ago you shared a pic of David and I immediately new he had Cornelia Delange. That led me to your blog. The love you have for him does my heart good and I so enjoy reading of your love for David. I find joy in all my students, but my student that shares the same diagnosis as David especially makes me smile. He loves so freely and you can’t help but to smile back at his precious smile. You are a wonderful Mom and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your beautiful family with me.
Lisa, I’m in constant admiration of your love of and YOUR ADMIRATION FOR David. I see something in his eyes, only through photographs, of course, that indicates LIFE and LOVE and you have put that there for him, you, his brother and his father.
Again, I admire your constancy, your love, your passion, for that beautiful child you call David. He is a child of God. How can he not be beautiful and lovable?
I love him…..
Beautiful words Lisa. I wish I could meet David because to me he is an inspiration and a wonderful gift from God. We are all God’s children no matter if you are heavy, skinny, colored, or handicapped. I have a friend with a daughter who is handicapped by a scoliosis issue and she doesn’t speak but with her eyes and smiles and laughter she bring immense joy. Blessings to all of your family
This is beautiful!!
?✨??✨
Lisa-does David have Corneia deLange Syndrome? My brother does & its physical characteristics are unmistakable. Your son very much resembles my brother as a kid. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to get in touch with the cdls organization. It’s a great network of families, caregivers, doctors & specialists to help you on your path.
Yes David does have Cornelia deLange syndrome. I have personally worked with children who never ever lived to reach the potential that seems to be so vibrant in young David. Whatever Lisa and her family is doing must be working.
My son also has Corneia deLange syndrome… I too was wondering the same as my son has similar features ?
Lisa… You are blessed and you bless us with your wisdom. words of absolute truth beautifully spoken. It is a pity that some people are confused. Thank you.
Lisa, I’ve been where you are…interpreting someone’s pity face. People are actually very caring and their hearts go out to David and you. David is a teacher. He will teach many adults how to see beyond his disabilities and to see his gifts of joy, courage and unconditional love as a blessing to be celebrated and even envied. ❤️
When my son was in middle school, he worked as a peer helper in PE where he was paired with a child with a “disability”, kind of like a helper buddy. My son always told me sweet stories about his “buddy” and I could tell that this was a really awesome experience for my son as well as his buddy. During this same time, my kind-hearted son had some issues where he was bullied by so-called “regular” kids. These regular kids were so mean, rude, and constantly were saying hurtful things. During one of our many talks, my wise son said, “I bet those mean kids make their parents unhappy every day while my buddy is always so happy and loving and I’m sure he makes his parents so happy every day. My buddy is a much better person than those mean kids!”
Your son sounds like a joy!
I love your story. My daughter also started out being a partner through the Best Buddies program. It helped her develop her passion in life early and she is know majoring in disability studies at the local university and working with a social service agency to assist that those with special needs. She too said her outlook on life changed based on her encounters because they were always so happy and full of joy. It is amazing what an impact those individuals can have on the people around them if only others took the time to actually see them.
Amen sister! I also have a daughter with a disability (who is now 34) and the people who think they need to feel pity for you just don’t understand that we don’t need it or want it. We love our children with all our heart and they are perfect, just as God intended them to be. I tried to talk freely about her to people who didn’t know what to say, telling them what an absolute joy it was to have her in our lives and I wouldn’t want her any other way. I think a lot of people have not been around others with disabilities and don’t realize it’s not a downer, but a blessing. And I think David is perfect, he is what he is supposed to be. 🙂
I agree, I think many just don’t know what to think, what to say, or how to feel. They simply have not spent a single day in your shoes, experiencing life as a loved one of a disabled child. Continue to love and others will see, they will hear, and then… they may understand.
How sad someone can’t see what a child with a disability can teach us. What they have to offer.
I have a child with an invisible disability (she has type 1 diabetes and also a brain tumor), and the last thing she wants is someone’s pity.
Your son is imperfectly perfect. Aren’t we all?
Beautiful …. So very well stated. David is lucky to have you and you are blessed to have him.
Lisa, anyone can see the love David shares with you all when you look at his face. He is a dear boy. That woman is the one who is lacking.
I’m ashamed to admit I have been one to look at a disabled person in such a way. However, age and experience have changed that in me. A child is a gift from God; He doesn’t make mistakes. You inspire me. Thank you.
Gail I too have looked with pity I guess is what it would be, but when I see Anyone with a disability or handicap I don’t Ever want it to be taken as looking down on Them!!! Because my ❤️ Is full of compassion for them, & I say a Prayer in my mind Then. Lord you know the situation Bless them and give them everything needed in Life. I don’t want Pain in there Body just Bless Them bc You Know There Every Need. Because Yes they Are So Special, God Blessed Me to work 17 years with disabled and Young Adults with Special Needs and Yes!! They Bring So Much Joy to Every Life that’s Blessed to have them as apart of there life. To you Lisa I want to say I am looking forward to Reading Your Story and seeing the different things I’ve seen ppl. Reply to in post (I saw the rings & clicked to view)….. But in just seconds I saw David and read the post about grocery store and haven’t gotten farther. God Bless You and your family ❤️
Love & Hugs to you all & I think Matthias was how spelled ? But to Him XO for being the Great Bro. & Son ? ( bc I know how GREAT that extra Much Needed Sleep Is!??)
Also first hand idk the heartbreak of seeing ppl. Looking & seeing pity, and I’m sorry for That, but 5 years ago God did Bless my daughter with to US, Gods Greatest Gift Noah Lane ? He has Autism & I’ve sit So Many Nights with my Baby (Britney) crying and hurting so bad, and the Helpless feeling as a mother, and now MiMi l have been there and having to say Ppl just don’t understand and it will Get Better when my heart was Screaming TELL ME WHO MADE YALL FEEL THIS WAY!!! I’ll go Personally and Take care of it!!!!!!!?
But To Each Mommy whatever You may go thru ❤️ Sending Love and Prayers to You All❤️
I have loved your jewelry for a long time now (my husband bought me the family tree necklace for Mother’s Day 5 years ago I believe). I have been reading your posts recently and learning your story, and I love your jewelry and what you do even more now that I know the story behind the beauty. Jesus redeems what is broken and makes all things beautiful… I love seeing how you love your precious son. God bless all of you.
Caroline, same story here. I love her jewelry, and love it even more after reading her story about precious David. The lady she referenced must live a sad and lonely life.
My eyes of pity would haven been on her, how much she misses.
Waving to you and your beautiful family with eyes full of delight, you amplify love and joy every single day.
I feel pity for that woman!
Pity that she does not know how that hand she looked at has guided you on an adventure of a lifetime.
Pity that she does not know the sweet smile that David had that not only lights up your life but makes all of us who follow you smile too!
Pity that she doesn’t know what true beauty truly is!
Bless you and your family!
beautifully said. 🙂 shine on with your beautiful boy!!!!!!!!
what a beautiful boy and a beautiful family!!!
love the dogs too!
