What if you were told that your newborn child might have only two days, two weeks, or two years to live? It would be a real “when God doesn’t make sense” moment that would cause you to ask, “Why me, Lord?” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his heartfelt conversation with Bob Vander Plaats. He recounts the journey that he and his wife, Darla, embarked upon—raising a baby, then a young boy, and finally a young man who was severely disabled and in need of full-time care. No matter the circumstances or obstacles, the Vander Plaats persevered with faith and love, all in an effort to share the “light from Lucas.”
