There is a really sweat lady from church, named Nancy. She is such an inspiration to me. Nancy has a 40-something-year old son who is in what doctors call a vegatative state. She is so faithful about going and reading and praying with him. He has recently recovered a miraculous amount of mobility and cognitive developement. Her faithfulness to her vocation as a mother is so amazing!
The other night Nancy came over to babysit. She brought with her a collection of ducks. Nancy and her son (before he was in a comma) had used these ducks to create the pictures for a wonderful children's book called Grandma's Back Porch that she had written. In her generousity, she wanted to share this story with my kids. I was surprised to find that she had left one of the ducks at our house so the kids could play with him. His name is Aflack. The kids took this duck under their wings and have played with him quite a bit. These pictures are some of the times that I have caught them playing with Aflack. I thought they were precious. But, what I find even more priceless is the story Nancy wrote and her inspiring journey with her son who took the photos.
