To anyone reading this who might be facing a similar crossroads, meet my son Josh.

Josh is 3 and has Down Syndrome, the very condition shared about here in this post. We received a prenatal diagnosis at roughly 10 weeks. Some of the complications we feared happened, but that wasn't the end of the story. Josh was born early and spent a month in the hospital. At 1 year old, he had open-heart surgery. Now he's 3, loves life, and is thriving. The hard days didn't win.

If anyone else finds themselves in a similar place, reach out. There's a whole community of people here to support you. It hasn't always been easy, but he's worth every bit of it and then some.

No tears today! My book, The Gift of Tears, arrived! This 10-week devotional encourages everyone to experience tears as a blessing, not a burden, and even in life’s storms to thank God for the tears. https://t.co/SPjpq32XqG
