The littlest angel

Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, known around the world as "The Littlest Angel", was born in Ontario, Canada, February 13 2003, weighing just 2 lbs 8 oz. Doctors were at a loss as to why she was born so small and told her parents this little miracle baby likely wouldn't live through the night. But she did.

She continued to defy doctors' expectations, and at the age of 8 months Kenadie was finally diagnosed with primordial dwarfism, a genetic condition that is believed to affect only about 100 people in the world. Kenadie isn't expected to grow past about 30 inches or weigh more than 8 pounds.

But from the day Kenadie was born, her parents, Brianne and Court, refused to give up, saying, "We loved life right into her." Indeed, they did.

Kenadie now walks, runs, laughs, smiles and is beginning to talk. But, perhaps more importantly, it's the way Kenadie makes people feel that is her strongest achievement. Those who come into contact with her invariably believe that they have been touched by God, that somehow this little angel has touched their soul.

Kenadie may be small but no one would argue that this little girl has an enormous effect on people throughout the world.
