I couldn&#8217;t help but tear up with thanksgiving, at where Owen is today, compared to the rough start he had in life, 11-1\/2 years ago.  I took a photo of him and his grandmother and texted it to her.  Immediately, I thought about the conversations she and I had when Owen was first born.  He was a very sick baby with several complications.  He remained in neonatal ICU for quite some time.  When I couldn&#8217;t get hold of his Mom and Dad because their hands were so full, I would often call or text her.  Last night she and I embraced and talked about that, and together, we thanked and praised God for our very smart, strong and healthy boy today.  Yes, God answers prayer. <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-8Bie1DXn0sI\/VzsGkg6D6DI\/AAAAAAAAOhc\/RAkRkxfIfpEsLpEHBkLA8A7sKuxADlrPACLcB\/s1600\/Anderson%2BFamily%2B%2526%2BDonna.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/AndersonFamily26Donna.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>We fell in love with that little guy several years ago and my love for him has only grown through the years.
