One year ago, Janie Rose Clark entered the world with unimaginable challenges ahead. Born with Down syndrome and a serious heart defect, her future was uncertain from her very first breath. Multiple surgeries followed — including a critical heart operation — and along the way, Janie lost her limbs. But she never lost her will to live.
Then came the day she finally came home. And everything changed. She learned to roll over, to sit up, to taste her first bites of food. Small steps for most children — but for Janie, each milestone was a hard-won victory, each day a miracle.
Yesterday, Janie celebrated her first birthday. A moment her family once only dared to pray for. A living testament to resilience, courage, and unconditional love.
Janie’s journey reminds us all:
Hope is stronger than fear.
Love is stronger than pain.
And even the smallest fighters can overcome the greatest odds.
