To be upset over what you do not have is to waste what you do have.

What you do not have
October 2006: 28 weeks premature, Sophia Woyte is born
October 19, 2006
Mother and child: Robyn and Sophia Woyte.
In Anchorage, doctors wait as long as they can, but they can’t wait long, and they deliver 2-pound 4-ounce Sophia Woyte, 28 weeks premature. Tom Busch takes pictures of mother and baby and e-mails them to Lynette Schmidt in Nome, who prints and gives them to Sophia’s small worried siblings, to assure them everything’s okay. At the age of one day, Sophia and mother Robyn are visited by John Woyte, whom the National Guard has flown home from Iraq. Little Sophia holds her own and is home by Christmas.
“I am glad we are able to help in some small way…”
We’re so gratified to exchange correspondence with the people who support our mission.
From time to time, we share a short story that touches us. Here is a portion of a response to a donation thank-you from a KNOM listener. She writes:
While we are not Catholic, KNOM has been our preferred radio station for years, and we do appreciate your prayers. These last few months and the upcoming ones, we may need them especially: it has been/will likely continue to be a trying time for our family.
We count a number of you “old-timers” as friends, and sometimes I listen to the nighttime Rosary, etc. I am glad we are able to help in some small way to keep you on the air, and I enjoy reading the monthly updates we receive in the mail.
Our thanks to all who make KNOM possible. Together, we make a world of difference!
