We found out around Christmas time that our sweet daughter, Millie Joy, would have Down Syndrome.  Amidst the happiest time of the year, we found ourselves in a whirlwind of emotions. Through some of our toughest times, we continued to see signs of joy. Because it was Christmas time, the word was being used often, but even when we went to a soaking prayer to help us with our challenges ahead, the pastor mentioned joy over and over again. Because of this, we decided to give Millie the middle name Joy. It is now obvious why that word kept coming up during some of our toughest times. Millie is the definition of joy.

She brings out the best in everyone she meets and is simply the happiest child I’ve ever been around. The necklace we chose for her is in the shape of a sunflower which is a common sign of joy. We also chose to include a small emerald jewel, Millie’s birthstone. We thank God every day for giving us sweet Millie Joy; she completes our family in a way we never could have imagined.
