Good-bye, Sweet Nora Rose Yusko

http://noraroseyusko.com/

I've been following Nora's story for over 2 years.  She was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 in utero, which is "incompatible with life."  To everyone's amazement and joy, sweet Nora survived birth and 2 years of life.  But 2 days ago, in the wee hours of the morning, she passed on into Jesus' arms.

I don't know the family personally.  Her mother has written so tenderly through the last couple of years.  Nora's death was, at least to most of us following her on FB and on the blog, quite unexpected. She had been hospitalized for 2 weeks with a serious problem, but seemed to be doing better.

I really can't wrap my mind around how hard this has to be for the family, composed of her mother, father, and 2 older siblings.  But I am thankful, so thankful, that her family chose to give her a chance at life and Nora took that chance with both chubby hands.  She was and is a delightful person.  She taught so many things through her short life.

If you are a praying person, pray for Nora's family.  This is a very hard week for them as they celebrate her life and mourn her death.
