Our Little Angel, Linh


On Friday, January 25th, we learned of a little girl named Linh. Linh was diagnosed with Hep. B and was therefor considered a special needs baby. Our family decided she needed a home and a family just as much as any other baby, so we began working with our agency to bring her home. We learned this morning that she passed away from Pnemonia at a hospital in Hanoi. Although we will never hold her in our arms, she will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Heather -

You know how hard I prayed for this sweet baby to get well and to come home to be your daughter. But you and I know that God's ways are perfect -- even when they hurt really, really badly. I know that God has a really special baby planned for your family and that she is just around the corner for you. I am so sorry you have to experience this pain and wish I could be there to comfort you! You have become such a dear friend to me and I continue to pray for peace for you during this time.

Hugs, my friend!
Maria
