Such a beautiful story of Henrietta’s life. I have had the privilege of knowing Henrietta’s family for many years. They are all a blessing to this world just as Henrietta was and continues to be as we remember her now and always ❣️

I just cannot understand the suffering some children have to endure. Perhaps to show some of us how lucky we are. Having children that are healthy is a blessing. I applaud you for engaging and bringing some kindness to these kids. The world seems too cruel at times. You help us deal with it. Thanks again, Sean. A good story for MLK Day. A man that encouraged many of the qualities you write about.

Children are so brave. They face adversity like no other. God did indeed pick a flower.

“She made Pollyanna look like a Russian poet” and “any afraid person can be brave” those right there are why I read you each day❣️❤️‍🩹😇🤓

Henrietta reminds me of Saint Teresa, the Little Flower.

Saint Therese of Lisieux, France did not see herself as a brilliant rose or an elegant lily, but simply as a small wildflower in the forests and fields…The Little Flower of Jesus.

Thank you, Kathleen, for bringing her to mind.

Majestic Flowers indeed…a Saint, and Henrietta✝️
