The Oscars are this Sunday, and I — like you, I’m sure — will be cheering on Octavia Spencer to take home the Best Supporting Actress prize for her role as Minny in The Help.

3 CommentsOne Year. One Month. One Day.
Posted in: Friends, Life
Today Eleanora is one year, one month, and one day old.
I am thinking of and praying for Olivia Anne Hellwig and her family more than ever today. Last September, Olivia was killed in a tragic accident as a careless, hurried driver sped through a crosswalk in reverse.
Olivia was one year, one month, and one day old.
Olivia is the niece of our dear friends Jen and Adrian, and you can read more about her in a beautifully and thoughtfully written post on Adrian’s blog, Dad or Alive.
Please say a prayer for Olivia and her family. Please hug your babies tight to you. And please, please, please exercise hyper-diligence at all times while driving. Look around. Slow down. No hurry is worth a sweet baby’s life.
Love,

Here’s what materialized:
