On this birthday for Merritt may you know that beauty comes in many forms...and God uses all of His children to bring blessing. We love you all and pray daily that your testimony is shared with many who seek to know how you have come to peace with the mystery that medical science has yet to understand. Much love to all.

But tonight I can't seem to sleep. Had our appontment with the neurologist today and my mind is racing. You have a true gift for putting thoughts into words. Merritt certainly is lucky to have a mom who loves her so entirely and sees her for the belssing she is. I strive every day to love my baby past my own dispair, it's the least he deserves. You give me hope. Happy 6th birthday, Merritt. What an achievement! Keep beating those odds! Mary Beth Kathy,

I have a little one with mitochondrial disease. He is 15 months and has Leigh's disease and complex 1. You put my thoughts into words. I have described our lives as perfect. Not perfect the way we would have chosen, but perfect the way it is. Special children ease your life back into the calm even during the most trying times. Happy Birthday to your Ray of Sunshine!!!!!!! Melissa Kathy,

Six years--that's a great milestone. I've always loved the Biblical references to light, so Kathy I think your reference is perfect.
