My Granddaughetr is three and we are raising her. We also have had some really tough times and we try not to dwell on her illness too much. Although it is always in the back of your mind. Now she is going through the obstinate three stage....... and I am praying it is only a developmental phase. I look at all the precious children on this site and have come to the conclusion these are some of God’s special ones. I was given Maritza for a reason and her life has been spared for a reason. For this I am blessed. The little ones are so brave and fight so hard to excell that instead of concentrating on the why’s???? I Thank God every day for her presence in my life. I learn from her strength and stamina. They are our angels of the future. Cherry
