My mom shared this in the comments of the previous post but I thought it deserving of its own space:
What a blessing to get to love on our sweet, sweet boy! He looks just like his Daddy did when he was a baby! He has grown a lot since I saw him last and those gorgeous blue eyes are soooooo precious! Oh God, thank you so much for Ira and his mom and dad and sister. Thank you so much for providing him with this family that continues to love on him through lots of tough days.
Sophia is so sweet and so much fun! She and I watercolored, danced, read books, and walked to the grocery store to get some grapes this afternoon. She is very imaginative and has wonderful expressions.
I'm amazed at Joe and Laura and their stamina. It's really, really hard to travel to and from the hospital daily even though you're sitting on the subway most of the time. Then as much fun as it is to hold Ira for hours on end, it's also very tiring and a little bit nerve-wrecking since he continues to work soooo hard for every breath he takes. Their friends continue to provide meals almost daily and minister to them in so many ways! I am amazed at the warmth and hospitality and love of these born/bred Yankees and the Yankee transplants! Joe and Laura's family is blessed beyond belief when you consider God placed them in NYC for this journey...because of the ministry surrounding them and because of the medical benefits surrounding them.
Joe F. and I thank all of Joe C's and Laura's friends as well as their extended family's friends for the many, many acts of kindness. We love all of you and thank God daily for "every remembrance of you!"

Joe and Laura,
Even though we don't know either one of your moms, we know from experience that having a grandma around is a stabilizing force in many ways. We are SO GLAD Joe's mom can be there for a while with all her love and patience and wisdom and energy for all of you. The pictures are so great, and Grandma's comments on the blog absolutely resonate with her deep love and care for all of you. Thank you Lord, for grandmas!!! Our prayers continue, we love you guys.

Way to go, Glo, love those kids and enjoy these precious moments with all of them...especially Ira and Sophia. I'm sure they will flourish under Gram's love and care... Being sheltered here in West Texas, I have a new love and appreciation for New Yorkers, once more HE tells me we are all His hands and His feet, all part of the wonderful Body of Christ.
Looking forward to hearing some of the great stories when you get home Glo....love and prayers.
