Five years ago I had a bad case of butterflies. The day I had been waiting for had finally arrived. I would find out if I would have a son or a daughter. This day still goes down as one of the best days of my life. The following is an excerpt from my book, Bringing Home the Missing Linck: A Journey of Faith to Family.

To The Mama Waiting for the Miracle: I saw your Facebook post today and my heart ached for you. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug.

Five Reasons Fall’s My Favorite
