As his 7-year-old son Mikey lay in a hospital bed on life support, the victim of a drunk driver who had smashed into his family's car, Paul Cortez took the boy's hand and made a solemn promise to God: If his son survived, no matter in what condition, he and his family would always be there for him.

It was a promise the family would keep for 31 years ...

Although he would never emerge from the persistent vegetative state his father had found him in that night, Mikey's family was not only there for him but also gave him a full life. A life, as it turned out, not all that different from anybody else's ...

A long and inspiring article about what we used to have before Libtards decided to play God ... and before they enacted ObamaCare ...

With Obamacare, this poor child wouldn’t have left the hospital, much less been given feeding tubes, specialty wheel chairs or lifts. He would never make it past 7 if the Panels don’t recommend. May God have Mercy on us all.

Thank God that he had a loving family.

So unlike the family of that brain-dead woman in Texas, desperately trying to remove her from life support while her baby is still alive and growing—because they so strongly want the baby dead.

Wow,
An inspiring read before Church this morning.
May God continue to bless these folks.

I read the story on Yahoo News yesterday, and I wept at the devotion and love his family gave to him..

It’s hard to believe that family wants the baby dead. Why? And the father. He wants both his wife and his child dead? Hard to believe. Also hard to believe that the judge agrees with them.
