Great article! That post about the wind in her hair was so precious and I'm sure you reminded so many (including me) what we take for granted... you're awesome Suzie and your daughter, well...she just takes the cake!

What a beauty! We are so glad the weather is changing for the better up there, and thankful that Lindsay is doing well and can enjoy it. Praying always for a perfect heart, and rejoicing in the hope that Sofi's good news bring us...

Love, The Hagerotts

Looks like I'm not the only one that was captivated by that beautiful smiling face OUTDOORS!

And Suzie, I just have to tell you that I was brushing my teeth this morning and picked up my Blackberry to check on the Princess (now if that isn't stalker-ish behavior, I don't know what is!) and I saw the posts about Sofi's heart. I literally sprung leaks from my eyes! I had to stop brushing my teeth (I finished later - don't worry!) because I was flooded with so much emotion. (As an aside, like you, I too cry at the drop of a hat!) I have checked in on Sofi sporadically so I was very, very happy to hear her good news! As tears of happiness for little Sofi fell (she is the same age as my Emily so I related to her on that level), I know that tears of sorrow were also falling... for the donor family, of course, but also for YOU!

I have to tell you that you are a remarkable Christian women, Suzie. Your posts about Sofi convey true, raw, heartfelt excitement for HER. There is not an ounce of envy in your words. And I admire you for that.

And as I prayed for Sofi this morning, I couldn't help but also pray for little Lindsay and your family. God provided Sofi with a heart at exactly the RIGHT time (what a miracle!). And I know that he will provide Lindsay with her heart at exactly the RIGHT time for HER. Long though the wait is (and I can't imagine how long it must seem to you), I hope and pray that as you rejoice in Sofi's "miracle day", YOUR heart will be renewed in knowing that miracles can happen, miracles do happen, and a miracle WILL happen for Lindsay! Her time has not yet come... but it WILL!

Thank you for being the example that you are, Suzie. My prayers will continue for Sofi... and of course, for little Lindsay and your family!

Love to you all!
Danielle

Me again... just got your sweet note in the mail. And I'm not mad at you... it made my day :) And I adored the notecards... they were perfect! Glad you liked the "feeding" gear!

This article was our first introduction to lindsay and our thoughts and prayers have been with her everyday since. We also have a little girl,now five, that was born with Truncus Arteriosis and has had 2 open hearts so far at motts. Mabe our paths will cross someday, we also live in kalamazoo, and our little miracles can share their journeys with one another! We will pray for many more days in the wind and the grass for Lindsay! God Bless/
