Last night, during the Monday night football pre-game show Elizabeth and Isaiah
had the incredible opportunity to speak out about what it is like to have
Ruby as their sister.
But first let me back up a bit…
Hope Kids is an amazing organization which puts together
events for the families of treasures with life-threatening illnesses.
Ruby is our Hope Kid
and a few times each month we go to special
events designed to bless families like ours.
It is extraordinarily wonderful to watch a movie
in a theatre and know that it’s okay if Ruby shrieks,
because we are surrounded by other Hope Kids and their
families. There is a special bond knowing that we all
have medical challenges and there are some
days that are definite struggles.
A few weeks back we went with Hope Kids to
an Arizona Cardinals practice.
At the stadium they have apparatus’
which the kids can try as a mock-up to
the real football practices.
We also were able to have a flag we were given
autographed.
It was a blast!
As it turns out the movie station was there
and wanted to interview our kids.
Below is their interview as it aired last night
in the pre-game show before the Arizona Cardinals
Monday night football game.
How incredibly blessed we are to share
Ruby’s story {again!}
with the world around us
reminding everyone that it is a blessing and a
privilege to that Ruby is ours.
Unfortunately I cannot link the video,
however, it is on my Facebook Wall and
I have made it public.

Your children are so well-spoken. They make perfect ambassadors for the cause. God bless you and Dwight for all you do!
They do make good ambassadors, don't they? We had no idea that the media would be there, nor did they get to "prep"…it was really beautiful to hear what their thoughts were about the blessing of Ruby!
That video was THE BEST!! I sat here and grinned through the whole thing!!
Thank you Laurie!
