Life gets in the way. It has been a long time since I have even been on Shelby’s website, but great things are happening! On Valentine’s Day, we participated in Cookies for a Cure at Lady of America in Bedford. With a simple bake sale, we raised over $400 for Dravet Syndrome research. Big “thank you’s” go to the ladies who work and work out there. The generosity was amazing – and so appreciated.
Our next fundraiser is March 31. We are participating in The Stroll for Epilepsy at the Dallas Zoo. The Epilepsy Foundation of Texas has generously agreed to give half of all the money we raise walking to Shelby’s research fund for Dravet Syndrome medical research. We are so excited about this and would love for you to participate with us. To join our team and walk with us, go to www.eftx.org. Click on Upcoming Events and select the stroll for Dallas/ Ft.

to decide if he was going to be angry about the time he wouldn’t have with his daughter, or grateful for the time he had. That challenged me as Shelby’s mom. I must choose to remember that for every dream that’s died, a blessing has risen up to take its place. Although Shelby lacks the understanding to make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, she maintains an innocence that knows no sin and is closer to the heart of God than my deceitful heart could ever hope to be. And although her disabilities are such that she will probably be made fun of many times in her life, not ever will her sweet spirit degrade another. And no matter how frustrated I get with her, it all melts away with a smile and a hug from her. Shelby may never play on a sports team or get invited to a sleepover party, but I can cherish the way her face lights up at the Sea Life Aquarium I choose to live my life with joy. No, the circumstances surrounding Shelby are not ideal, but I strive for contentment daily through the grace of Jesus Christ my Lord.
