I am not sure many have heard the incredible account of a seven year old, Ari that was unfortunate to be in the path of a severe weather storm in the Spring of 2011. During this storm her parents, grandparents and cousin passed away. Ari, however, was granted an experience to cherish forever. She had a glimpse into heaven.
Even today after a huge tragedy, she is thriving. With the help of other’s Ari has written and illustrated a book about the storm, her experience during and after. Ari also was fortunate enough to work with her doctor, on a method called Treasure Boxes that has helped her to cope. Sales of this book will go to assist children in need, in dealing with death.
I don’t know about you guys- but I absolutely love to see triumph over tragedy. I hope you guys take the opportunity to check out the book, visit their site and like their facebook page.
