I'm touched by a local story here in Alaska. We have our first Lady Governor. She was elected in about 1.5 years ago and she is one fiesty lady. She is standing up to the big Oil Companies and bringing them to their knees

She has 4 children, one whom just joined the Marines. She works tirelessly 7 days a week. She has been a real blessing to our state.

So about 6 weeks ago she announced she was pregnant (she's like 44!) and was due in May. She hid it very well! LOL!!!

So last week she flew to Texas to give a speech. Before the speech her water broke . So what did she do? This baby was going to be born in Alaska!!! She GAVE her 30 minute speech....got on a plane (about a 8-9 hour flight) flew home to Alaska, went to the hospital and gave birth....to a Downs Syndrom child. (She KNEW he would be DS)....Its a wonderful story and she says she loves this child and knows God gave him to her because she could provide a good life to him....

WOW!!! WHAT A LADY!!! Thought some of you might enjoy hearing about her courage and fighting spirit.

PS: Her name is Gov. Sara Palin and did I mention she was also "Miss Wasilla" a beauty queen in her youth? LOL!!
