In this Family session, we have the Hess Family. In the met Sarah when she and her family moved to my area in January of 2018. Her husband was interning for a local Physical Therapist and they were only guaranteed to be here for a year. Her hope was to stay in the area for her husband’s Residency as well, but sadly it didn’t work out that way.

In the year that I was able to get to know Sarah and her family, she showed me what a big heart she has. She is so generous with herself and her time. She is a patient and God-fearing mother and definitely one of the most faithful and brave women I have ever met. Along with raising two of her own small children, she has also adopted her niece and nephew and recently found out she is pregnant with her 3rd biological child, or 5th child if you count all of her kiddos.

If anyone can handle having 5 children ages 5 and under, it is this woman right here. I know God has her in the palm of His hand and I am so grateful that I was able to meet Sarah and call her my friend. I know that as she and her family embark and their next journey in life, we will be thinking of each other with fondness and our friendship will be one that is not dimmed with time or distance.
