A Lifechanging Day

It was June when Josiah arrived. He weighed a little over six pounds, small for a newborn, and was just over three months old. Preemie clothes were the only ones that fit. This sweet little boy was in dire need of a lot of love and a lot of warm milk!

It only took a week to see the transformation in his little body. His eyes were the first to change. Originally sad to look upon, his eyes had become windows into a little soul that was learning, for the first time, to live.

Now, Josiah is a spunky, chubby little guy. He loves to laugh and be tickled and has recently learned to roll over, something he didn't have the strength to do before.

We're so thankful for the day he came and the chance we were given to make a difference in his life.
