I have a blog I would like to share with y'all today. This is a blog written by Lauren Casavechia. I met Lauren several years ago through a mutual friend. Lauren married her long-time love, Brent and they had their first child Hayden Brent 9 (?) months ago. Hayden is a BEAUTIFUL little boy. He is by far the best dressed child in the Mississippi Delta and I think its safe to say, its one of the most popular too=) Hayden has a rare disease called adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency. Have you ever heard of this? Probably not.
I'm sharing this blog because I feel like so many people (me included) take small things for granted - to see the struggles of another family might help us to be more grateful and appreciative of the things we have to be thankful for. If you have a child, love that baby unconditionally and cherish every moment. From the smiles, laughs, first steps, first crawls-know that some families never get these. Lauren wishes for all of these things while others take every one of those for granted. Personally I can't speak from experience here because I do not have a child - nearly every time I read Lauren's blog, it puts tears in my eyes. I hope one day I can be a strong and dedicated as a mother like Lauren is.
The Casavechia family have been blessed with this precious gift from God but unfortunately due to his condition, they've had some rough days/sleepless nights...and those days/nights continue.
I know Lauren and Brent are surrounded with lots of love and support but can never have enough prayers. I would like to ask y'all (my friends/readers) to please keep this family in your prayers. Send up additional prayers throughout the day for this precious angel and for this family to continue to have the strength to get through this.
Lauren is a wonderful writer and very inspirational.
