Stefanie believes it was God’s tender mercy that her own mother could offer such empathic encouragement, and it was just as much of a heavenly expression of love that she had the privilege of being Brody’s mom.
“I believe God prepared my
mom and me for life’s
challenges by giving us each
other. I’m sure she understood
pieces of her trial over the
years, but it wasn’t until 32
years later that it had the
greatest impact,” Stefanie said.
“Her trials became my
strengths and it just solidified
that God has this huge plan. His
plan for her turned into part of
my plan. I don’t know what
exactly it means for me, but I
know that He’s mindful of me.”
