Paraphrasing James E Talmage:
The Eternal Father foresaw that death would enter the world, and that the possession of bodies by His children would be of but brief individual duration. The power of death was to be overcome, so that, though men would of necessity die, they would live anew, their spirits clothed with immortalized bodies over which death could not again prevail. Let not ignorance and thoughtlessness lead us into the error of assuming that the Fathers foreknowledge as to what WOULD BE, under given conditions (mortality), determined that such MUST BE. It was not His design that the souls of mankind be lost; on the contrary it was and is His work and His glory, "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
What does this mean to me? It means, and I believe, mortality is a temporary condition. It is not what MUST be forever. Just because we are separated by death in mortality does not mean it will always be that way.
This is a blog about the joys of raising Sophia. It is intended to be REAL, inspiring, and shed light on the experience of having a terminal child. I hope that our experience will help people in one way or another. I could have never imagined having a terminal baby with special needs. The news was devastating. But there is joy in this journey. And life lessons to be learned. God knows us, individually, and he blesses each of of our lives daily. THIS, IS SOPHIA'S STORY...
