My baby sister Leah sleeps, eats, dreams, lives and breathes Evangeline. She loves her so much, there are times that she cries for her. It is to die for! When she comes to my house, she will sit and hold her on her lap and sing softly. She is invoved in every aspect of Evie's day. If there's a diaper changing going on, she's right there, holding the wipes for me. If Evie cries, she runs to her side and wraps her up in a blankie and gives her a baby to "snuggle". I have never seen a child so tender and in love with a baby!
It's amazing to me. I think about what little sweet Leah endured in her first weeks. Unimaginable abuse by the very people who should be protecting her. She was beaten and neglected, to a point that the doctors were sure she could never recover. But recover she did. And not only physically, but emotionally as well. And here she is, dying to comfort and swaddle this baby. How precious that God can take something so horrible, and turn it into something so great.
So sweet!
