One more important post for today. Our friends, Tom and Michele Gledhill had their fourth child a week ago today. They knew before hand that little Gracie had a heart problem. However, I'm not sure anything could have prepared them for what they are going through right now. I can't imagine being in their shoes. What a tough time this is for them and their family. I can't get them out of my mind. Poor little Gracie had surgery on Monday, and things haven't gone real well. She has a 50/50 chance to make it. So many are praying for her and the family. It is amazing to see the love that everyone has offered. Being away, I only hear bits and pieces of the many things that have been done for them---so many acts of kindess in words, prayers, meals, cleaning, gifts, etc. This is why we are here---to be the Lord's hands to help and serve others. Our Heavenly Father is mindful of each of us and knows what we need. You can't help but feel the love for sweet Gracie. Check out their blog-Gledhill Family-and you will see what I am talking about. A friend Kim, on a coment on Gledhill's blog, had suggested for people to share what "Gracie's gift" of life has meant to them. Pretty amazing what an impact one special little one has, and how many lives she has touched! She needs all the prayers she can get! Hope to see a "good news" update tomorrow!

Just about the most heart-wrenching thing I've ever read. My prayers are with this family and sweet baby Gracie.
Wow, you have just taken off girl with this bloggin' thing. So good to see pictures of the other kids, and a little peek at your hubby there too in the back ground ;).
So sorry to hear about your friends and their heart ache. I have been in a similar situation and I still reflect very often on the many people and blessings that came to us at that time. People that will probably never know how much their acts of kindness meant to me. Heavenly Father does know us and he does hear and answer prayers. My heart is with them and their family, I wish them all the love and blessings that life can bring at this time.......
Ok Suzette, I'm a little offened that I found your blog through Erin's blog through Sara'a blog!! I'm glad to see you have joined the bloging world. Your kids look darling and it was fun to catch up. Have a great day :)
Hey Suzette,
It's Kim Lambert! I just saw your blog on Kami's. Yeah! Such a great way to keep in touch. Especially for us adult deprived stay-at-home moms! Isn't this whole thing with Gracie amazing and so sad at the same time. We visited Michele and baby last week. She is being so strong...I can't believe it sometimes. It really is a miracle one way or the other. Very touching. I'm sorry to hear your dad is still having such a hard time. Your parents have really been through a lot this year! I hope having the G.B. out will help with a lot of his problems.
Take Care.
Love, Kim
