[Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.]

My niece, Addison.  She has had the biggest impact on me the past 3 years.  She is truly amazing. Actually I don't think that I have ever been so impacted before until she arrived in my life.  She has been through more than most adults and has prevailed every single time.  She has lived a very rough life and still carries a constant smile on her face.  I wish I could take away everything she has gone through and still faces.  No one ever wants to see a little tiny person endure so much pain and scare and unfortunately me and my family have for the past 3 years.  It is so saddening but I think it has brought my family closer.  

This post couldn't have come at a better time.  Addie is currently sick and is spending time in the hospital for the second time this week.  She was diagnosed with the flu but we cant get her oxygen levels to level out.  Please pray that Addie recovers from this quickly and that it doesn't get any worse then it is!     

I can't believe how strong you are Addie!  Keep being brave and we will get through this once again!   

aw sweet little-itty-bitty addie
