Tori is a mom to two precious kiddos; Jax who is in heaven and Landree who was just born. Tori shares about the season of life she’s in with a newborn and how she’s not tired, (yet!) And she tenderly shares about having a child with a terminal diagnosis, how she and her husband walked that road and how they made the most of Jax’s days here the absolute best they could. Tori shares a word about heaven and I think it’s something a lot of us forget - Heaven isn’t to be feared. For those who believe, it’s our reward.
