We celebrated a big milestone quietly on Monday . Due to covid , we decided not to have a party at this time. As I shared here , we never thought we’d see this day , at least when Grace was a baby . Over the years we started to believe that she might beat the odds because she is pretty healthy despite some bad spells of pneumonia and seizures. She is now officially an adult for all practical purposes!

Grace’s life looks different than most people’s but we believe that she is happy and one day we will be able to ask her when she is made whole .
I made a short photo video for YouTube to commemorate this special day. you can also watch her other video on my YouTube channel, I think . Actually, no , here it is in my old channel.
