It has been said that "great faith comes out of great trials". We were blessed to be the parents of Sydnee Danielle for four amazing years. She was born with a rare syndrome called Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome. It involved her right leg and left foot. Over the years, and unrelated to the syndrome, we learned that she had bilateral hip dysplasia, an Atrial Septal Defect in her heart, and a Wilm's Tumor in her kidney. Throughout her life, she underwent 15 surgeries and 5 #65533; months of chemotherapy to treat these conditions. God's presence was felt each step of the way. By the summer of 2010, we thought we had conquered all of our obstacles and enjoyed the summer like never before. Once again, God had a different plan. On the evening of August 30th, Sydnee left our earthly arms to return to the arms of Jesus. There was no earthly explanation for her death. Strangely, that comforted us to know that we, being healthcare professionals and her parents, did all that we could to save her. We had not messed up, but rather, it was God's will for her young life. It is our prayer that your life will be touched by this book. May you realize that God's word is true and can be trusted no matter the circumstances of your life. We hope sharing the story of our daughter will draw you to His story.
