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.

Playing Doctor at the Hospital
The boys had a great time seeing Samuel and playing doctor. They got to play with a doll who had leads, tubes, etc before coming into the CICU. And then they got to prance around in their doctor gear. It was a blessed morning. Thanks for praying!
Wow, are you guys ever good looking!!! What a delight to see the boys having fun. Am thankful that the life specialist did a great job. Lots of love, Jeanne
Prayed for you and the family to have a blessed and memorable time together in several staff meetings today. Our hearts our burdened for you, but we are so ever amazed by your attitudes and hope in this time. I hope you will continue to feel God's promise of daily renewed compassion, love and mercy wrapped around you in these tough days. We love you and will not stop praying for you and baby Samuel. Thanks for sharing fun pics. Looks like the boys had a good morning together. We love you Lydia and Jeremy
