Your Portrait: "I Hope You Dance"
By Amanda Kicklighter - Statesboro
Nothing can tear at a mother?s heartstrings more than watching her child suffer and being able to do nothing for her child except pray. All seemed well when we left the hospital with our second daughter, Isabella. However, at 7 days old she was back in the hospital with RSV. Never have I been so numb to what was going on. All I could do for the 2 weeks in the hospital was hold her, and trust that God would heal her, and He did. A couple of months later, Lori took one of my favorite portraits of Isabella. It is a hand-colored b&w and she is lying on her tummy with a flower wreath and a tutu on. I love this picture because her eyes seem to dance with life and it reminds me that each day with her is a gift. I call it, ?I Hope You Dance?.
