14 Days of Maddy: Day 8 Grace

14 Days of Maddy Bows (6)


You are Grace. Maddy in Hospital 2021 Christmas

โ€œThe disposition to or an act or instance of kindness.โ€

What does it mean to be someone who emulates grace? 

For Maddy, it meant teaching us that each moment can be magic, especially the most difficult. You can operate in grace as you navigate pain, and you can also give grace when someone, or yourself, makes a mistake because we are only human. This is not easy to practice. For us, it was not easy when we lived each day in the hospital, but Maddy never wavered even as she was going through painful treatments and surgeries. Through her, we learned how to be more graceful.
