"Princess Frogie"...

Today Julie and I were at the Clovis Trade days, a monthly, weekend-long trade show for crafters and other vendors. We were selling the custom children's clothing that we design and make. 

 We met a Grandma, her daughter and her daughter's 2 children. The Grandma noticed a photo of Ambrelyn we had displayed. Ambrelyn reminded her of her Granddaughter. Grandma began telling us about her Granddaughter (from her other daughter), Katie. 

Katie is 4 years old, her Kidneys and intestines are failing.  Katie is currently semi-comatose due moraphine to control the pain from an incurable rare cancer.  Grandma said that Katie was likely going to die soon.  She said that although she dreaded losing Katie,  she would be grateful that Katie would no longer be in pain when God takes her home. 

We began to realize who Katie is... 

4 year old Katie is the little girl in Clovis with Pancreatic Cancer, an extremely rare cancer in children and a cancer that is rarely curable in adults. We have prayed for Katie, there have been fund-raisers for Katie. 

Katie has the same Cancer that we were almost positive Zavy had, but didn't. It makes me wonder why one family goes through it all and another is spared. Don't get me wrong, I am  incredibly grateful that our son did not have cancer and that he has been healed, I just wonder is all. 

Grandma showed us some beautiful photos of Katie and her mom, Katie with her little bald head.  She is a beautiful child. They call Katie "Princess Frogie", a fun, silly nickname not unlike those that so many of us have given to children we love.  What is amazing is that we had a dress, a sweet silly little pink and green dress with frogs on it hanging on our rack... a dress embroidered with "Frog Princess" on the bodice. It was in Katie's size. The dress was one-of-a-kind...

God is simply amazing. 

The family sees the dress and is in tears. This dress was made to be Katie's, but by the looks on their faces we knew that there was no way that they could afford the dress today. Katie is in the hospital nearly 2 hours away. With the price of gas today, I am sure that they needed the money to travel to Lubbock to see their sweet Katie. 

With barely a glance between us, Julie and I put the "Frogie Princess" dress in a bag and handed it to Grandma to give to her Katie. She had told us of how she was at the hospital just yesterday that she said "How's my Frogie Princess?" to Katie and that Katie lifted her little arm and touched Grandma's head. The rest of the family in the hospital room drew in their breath, shocked. Remember, Katie is semi-comatose and has not responded to anything in a few days, yet she responded to this. Grandma and her daughter were overwhelmed with emotion from receiving the dress for Katie.  Julie and I were overwhelmed also.

We were blessed to be Katie's "Dress Angels".

Although the feeling we had from giving this dress was overwhelming and we were so emotional, please know that this is NOT about Julie and I giving the dress.

It is about the fact that...

 God knew that this dress needed to be made... 

He put the idea in our heads...

 Katie's Grandma was at "Trade Days" today...

 so was the dress...

(The dress had been at many other shows, loved by many, but never did it sell)

 Our sample book was opened to Ambrelyn's photo (we change them constantly throughout the day!)...

 Grandma spotted the photo...

 it reminded her of her Katie... 

The words "Frogie Princess" came up ...

 the dress was given...

 None of this is a coincidence...

 It is GOD. 

Please pray for Katie, for her family and for those that need to be touched by this precious child while God still has her here on earth. 

May you be blessed....
