Apokalupto – Loren Warnemuende

 

 

Title:

Apokalupto

 

Description:

‘Apokalupto’ is a story loosely based on the events surrounding the first Christmas of Loren Warnemuende’s daughter, who was born in 2002 with the chromosomal disorder Trisomy 18.  The one vivid image Loren carries from that crazy Christmas is her daughter’s first smile, bursting out in the sunlight of a winter morning.  That smile was a gift from God, a reminder that He is with us, ready to break into our stress when we least expect it.
