Demi-Leigh Tebow shared a video of her younger sister on Instagram last month in which she shared the challenges, lessons, and blessings of having a sibling with additional needs.<\/p>\n

“Today would have been my little sister Franje’s 19th birthday,” she wrote on February 27. “Today we celebrate her in heaven, where she is fully loved, fully known, and fully healed!”<\/p>\n

In an interview regarding her book, “A Crown that Lasts,” Tebow explained:<\/p>\n

Franje was born with severe special needs and disabilities. She essentially was born without a cerebellum. There were multiple complications that came with that. But Franje’s life … was so significant and so special. … I don’t think that we would fully know the extent of the purpose that her life has had until one day I get to meet my maker and be with her again. <\/em><\/p>\n

That was a hard thing for me to accept. It was hard for me as a teenager, especially, to work through, you know, “Lord, why is this happening to my sister? Why can she not be healed?” And I was questioning the Lord over and over and over again. It rattled my faith.<\/em><\/p>\n
