Meet the Sims!

Clare and I had the great pleasure of meeting Geoff and Valerie Sims yesterday. Val has been in regular email contact with us since before Theo was born and has a particular interest in us as both her and her two boys have Achondroplasia. She has been very supportive and encouraging from the start and it was fantastic to finally meet her and Geoff in person!



They both came to our church service and then back to Clare's mum's house afterwards. We all talked for ages, each sharing different experiences both serious and amusing. By the end, it certainly seemed to me and Clare like we were all old friends. We both left feeling full of joy and I'm sure it won't be the last time we meet up.

God brings good things out of bad situations. Although losing Theo is still hard for us, we have met so many wonderful people who have enriched our lives more than we could imagine possible. For that, we feel greatly blessed!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3 20-21
