A Most Amazing Wedding!

Heaven knows we need them more!

Our precious Caitie Beth was born with biliary atresia. Doctors have said since birth that she would need a liver transplant one day...probably before the age of two! Well, today is her 18th birthday! We are blessed and God is so good! I know that sounds cliche' but it is just plain true! Sure, she has her few "bumps in the road," who doesn't? She has never even been considered for a transplant. Still the possibilty still exists that she may one day. With God on our side and so many advancements in technology and research, perhaps she never will!

However, so many children and adults will need organ transplants. People are special to me. All people are unique and deserve to live as happily and as healthily as they are able. I wish the best for all people, but it's the children that tug at my heart strings the most. At different times and at different hospitals in Louisiana and Texas Children's Hospitals, we have witnessed first-hand the preciousness of life...the uncertainty of a next day. The children we've watched play in the halls riding in wagons, giggling as the push IV poles with eyes twinkling from puffy chipmunk cheeks enhanced with steroids and those lying silently quiet awaiting their miracles are something that have impacted my life. My heart aches for these tough little cookies! They are so resilient and strong! They have so much life ahead of them that they deserve to experience and share with those that love them! They deserve to grow, laugh, play, get an education, meet someone special and fall in love and get married to have families of their own.

had the honor and immense responsiblity of capturing a very amazing wedding for a very amazing young lady and her "families." I hope you'll take the time to watch the following videos...let them speak to your heart, maybe get a Kleenex or two...consider becoming an organ donor! Give the gift of life.

Don't take your organs to Heaven...Heaven knows we need them here!
