Laura, how wonderful you and Garret were able to see first hand that Alva Norene hears and responds to what is going on around her. You are both being so intentional in sharing your family’s love with Alva and enriching her life while she is physically here on earth. You are so eloquently using the gift of writing God gave you, to bring others along on this bittersweet journey. Thank you. Love, Mom

Dear Laura,

Thank you for the brave and courageous way you have used your writing gift to share your precious journey with Alva.

I just came across your article in the Risen Motherhood email and my heart goes out to you and Garret and the boys. The way you are seeking to trust God with Alva’s life and whatever His will is for the weeks and months to come is a true encouragement to us all. The love that you and especially the boys have shown Alva is such a reminder to live for each moment and to love (because He first loved us) as much as we can. So thankful to God to learn of your beautiful church family and the help it has been learning of Abel Speaks and the time you could have with other couples who have walked similar roads.

May our gracious God continue to sustain and uphold you and give you much grace and strength for each day.

Much love and prayers from Australia,

Lauren xo
