-----------------------Hannah's Legacy-----------------------

Faith is the youngest of 7 granddaughters on my side of the family. The oldest cousin, Hannah (17), is battling an aggressive brain cancer and is at a hospice facility now, as other medical treatments have been exhausted. Hannah has been in my life since she made me an Aunt at the age of 9. She has been a superb role model for her younger cousins, setting an example of honesty, morality, and virtue as she has blossomed into an amazing young woman.


Hannah was thrilled to learn of Faith's arrival, and she is even more thrilled to hear us talk of how Faith looks like her baby pictures in some ways. Faith took her first ever road trip at about 1 month-old to see Hannah. Hannah held her and talked to her, and Faith even gave her a smile...which was an emerging act for her at this time in her development.





With Hannah at a crossroads right now between healing in Heaven or divine intervention on earth, she has created a testimony that will impact lives from now on. I hope that one day Faith will understand how amazing her oldest cousin is and strive to be like her in every way.
