THE MIRACLE OF LIFE AND LOVE

To-day we mark the 3rd Birthday of our Grandson Daniel.

Three years ago he was born 2 months premature on 1st June. He was so tiny , that he fitted comfortably in my not overly large hand! he lived in the ICU in his own acrylic protective enclosure to the enless fascination of his elder sister and brother.Although all the Doctors ( including his Father) were consistent in their predictions of his sound prospects, most of us had to keep unspoken our anxiety at the sight of God's tiny handiwork. But top quality medical care, endless maternal and paternal love and oceans of prayer saw him through.

Once a handful!

To-day, the "handful"of 3 years ago is a solid, healthy lad , sharp as a tack and marvellously subtle in expression, both facial and spoken.He is a very happy , intelligent, sensitive and loving and loveable joy to his parents, siblings and grandparents. Thank God for our not so little treasure!
