This is our record of the short life of our son, Samuel, and the days following. Samuel was born on August 1, 2009 with several heart defects and very sick lungs. He died on August 31, 2009. August was a holy month for us,and we are so grateful for the days we had with our third son. We are convinced that our God, who carried us through each moment, is GOOD and TRUSTWORTHY. We are learning to praise Him in new ways and depend on Him more fully as we grieve Samuel.

Those pictures are beautiful! I totally agree with Jennifer.I just love how both of your faces light up when your kids are near! I know you love them so much and are missing your boys often! Glad you had some precious family time! The Tates
These pictures are breathtakingly amazing and precious! What a gift for you to have visual memories of this time. I am so very, very glad that you two have each other, and that you have Kebs and Joely. What a treasure the five of you are! I continue to pray, for unity, peace, and discernment. May the Lord show you the path and give you the strength to walk it. He goes with you, he hems you in before and behind. May you continually sense God's presence.
This is precious, your family is beautiful, thank you for sharing your love and hope and little Samuel's life with us. Praying for you, Jill (Pat's friend from work)
