Why We Stopped Going House to House for the Holidays

We hit a breaking point. We were so tired of rushing from house to house; we had truly begun to dread holidays. It was time to make a change for our family.

Mom Asks Sick 4-Yr-Old “What Does Love Mean?” Her 1-Word Answer Left Her Weeping

Four-year-old Leah Carrol has been winning hearts across the Internet.

For obvious reasons, if I do say so myself!

Prayers And Love For Leah

Leah has been battling severe Congenital Neutropenia since 2014, and she’s spent the past year almost exclusively in the hospital. But this overcomer is truly “a light to all she meets.”

This week, Lindsay filmed Leah again. Only this time, she wasn’t singing.

Leah giggly replies to some, while others she just simply answers with confident and solid responses. Then Lindsay comes to her final question: “What does love mean?”
