Noah Dane ...

My precious friends Melanie and Christian Cantius brought a beautiful, adorable soul into this world five months ago. A beautiful soul with a sick little body. Noah came into this world with a heart that needed patching and from the word go almost everything that could go wrong for him has. Melanie and Christian have kept their faith in an inspiring way and have found strength in their God and their loved ones.

About a month ago Mel and Christian blew me away when they looked into my eyes holding the most precious thing in their world and asked me if I would be Noah's guardian. In my heart I said yes in that moment ... I just knew. However, I talked it over with my family and friends as I learned more about what Noah's life may look like and the support that I would need if Noah ever needed me. I knew that if I said yes, that I wanted to begin now to become a bigger part of Noah's life, of his families life. What I did not know was how that would impact my heart so soon.

I have worried and prayed for this little guy since he was in Mel's tummy ... but never have I felt so twisted inside at a bad turn then until this morning when I read the latest update on their care page. I know you do not know this family, but you know and love me, and he is now and will continue to be more and more a big part of my heart and my life.

Please go to the care page and hear Melanie's cry for her baby. Send all the love and prayers that you can spare. Is he not more precious than words!
