Shea and my Mom were having a conversation… And, Shea told her all about the doctor’s appointment and how she is likely not going to be any taller. Evidently Shea said something under her breath and my Mom asked her what it was… Evidently the conversation went something like this… Grandma, “I’m sorry honey, what did you say?” Shea, “Never mind, it does not matter.” Grandma, “Now I am really curious… what did you say?” Shea, “I was just talking to the Man upstairs.” Grandma, “Oh really… what did you say to him?” Shea, “I asked him why I was born like this… Why did He make me with so many challenges? Why did he make me with so many things wrong with me?” Grandma, “Shea, we all have challenges…” Shea, “I know, but I have to go to way more doctors than anyone else I know… Why did I have to be born like this?” Grandma, “Shea, when you were born, you were so tiny, we did not even know if you would live… But, your Mom and Dad loved you before you were even born… and when they saw you for the first time, you were just perfect and they fell completely in love with you! And so did your Grandma and Papa, and also me and Grandpa… and everyone who met you. To us, you were and are just perfect!” Shea, “You all really loved me right from the start?” Grandma, “Absolutely… more than you know.” Shea, “Ok, I guess that I will just keep fighting through these challenges…” I cried when my Mom told me about this last night… And then I told Dave and he cried too… And that’s all I have to say about that... ~ Forest Gump
