Bump to a wonderful woman and mother.
I also immediately thought of the brave St. Gianna when I heard this mother’s loving story. For those who don’t know about Dr. Gianna: http://www.catholicinsight.com/online/saints/stmolla.shtml
Any loving mother would gladly exchange her life for their child. It takes an exceptional woman to give it for her unborn child.
I know that none of us is deserving of God’s grace, yet can’t help but think there are a few who come very close. May the child someday, somehow, understand how great a person his mother was.
I was heartbroken when I read this story. Words don’t do her justice and it is hard to describe such bravery.
In life heroes are never those who are most obvious.
The true heroes are really never noticed or acknowledged.
The silent strength of the most courageous that comes only from the Lord in times when needed.
Sacrifice is not explained in words it is demonstrated
through actions and ways of the heart. And this dying Mother’s love for her unborn child, which she had never yet seen, never yet held, never yet heard cry or laugh proves that she may have lived as one of us mere humans, but she died a hero.
Oh my aching heart. God bless this mother for following through with the birth of her baby son. One day he will grow up and know the heroine his mother was. God speed to the little girls, the boy and their dad. They were all blessed to have loved and known this courageous woman. She took the hard but...the right road.
What a wonderful woman. Rest in peace and God bless the family.
God Bless and Keep Close this wonderful woman.
The left and other abortion supporters take note.
You have got to be joking -- those pigs couldn't care less about a person like this -- I can hear them laughing now about how much of a sucker they think she was to act like that.
