beautiful. i love that you shared Lei's pronunciation of her friends and family. very special. her life's testimony is grander than her years. :) it's like a pebble in a pond... the ripples affect such a large area in comparison to the size of the pebble.
ReplyDeleteyour faith ability to "put it out there" are heartwarming and awe inspiring. and by doing so the ripples just keep growing larger, reaching more and more.. it's infinite. she is infinite.
love wins.
