{Out of difficulties, grow miracles.}

I am so excited that I got a chance to meet this inspiring little girl and her strong family ... and also meet the complete stranger halfway across the world that truly changed everything. Like - a little girl with a life threatening disease is now completely cured through his donation. He. Changed. Everything. The once stranger, is now a part of the family - truly. He proudly holds onto the beads with Mira in the pictures below. Each bead represents so many differently things, blood transfusions, the bone marrow transplant, hospital nights spent, and so many more things, too.

That same stranger who donated over 2 years ago is now expecting a little girl with his own wife, too. They traveled all the way from Germany to meet Mira + hang with her family for a couple of weeks. I had a blast hanging out with them all, completely laid back, relaxed and adorable family. Grandparents joined in the fun, too - this family has been through so much. Hard to believe that such a short time ago they were going through the most difficult time - a time so many of us can hardly imagine.
