TO LOVE LIFE IN THE FACE OF DEATH

Every life is sacred. Even when faced with circumstances incompatible with life, that human life is still sacred and bears the image of God.  


Baby Grayson James Walker was born with anencephaly on February 15th 2012. He only lived eight hours, but in those eight hours he was loved. His family surrounded him with tenderness and nurture until baby Grayson James Walker drew his last breath. His gift to his family was to call them to love in hopeless circumstances, to care when there was no cure, to love life even in the face of death. 

We do not get our worth from what we can do, or even sentience; our value comes from merely being.
