Ok, Ok, Ok.... Hello anybody want to win a contest?

Ok everyone! I have had very little response to my contest. So thanks to Dr. Boucher, I am going to try some some other tactics! First off, I am extending the deadline, I am going to extend it to Nov. 8. To refresh everyone's memory, I am having a contest for all of you MIRACLE VETERANS out there.

My hope and goal was to hear some inspiring stories from my bloggy friends. To remind you all, I am looking for some stories about your children and you that have reminded you of the fragility of life and how precious our children are. It doesn't have to be "THE" story about what happened to your child. It can be a small story that really spoke to you or was a defining moment.

For me, it was when Faith did her first sign. She was exactly 4 and a half. We had tried everything we could think of to get her to talk or sign or use a.com. devices. Nothing worked! So I tried to accept the idea. It was hard for a while (a long while) but slowly we did. Then one day we were waiting for therapy in the hall outside and a baby came by with her mother. I said "baby" and signed the word for it, too. All of a sudden she did it too! And so began our signing saga! She has learned about 50 signs in the last 15 months. Her latest include pumpkin, witch and a very modified version of Happy Halloween. I cannot tell you the joy we experienced when she began to sign! No words can describe it!

So, what's your story! Come on, you know you have one or a hundred! Just post one on your blog and then come back and leave a comment. I will read them and choose a winner, as randomly as possible! LOL!
