A Preview for You...

Our prayers were answered on Friday, when we were able to pick up our Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep pictures and DVD. It was worth the wait. We are planning to post our DVD here for all of you to see, but we want to share it with our families first. Watch for it early next week and break out the Kleenexes! The images of our time with Caden are priceless to us. While it is VERY painful to look at them right now, it also brings us great peace to know that we have this account of his time with us forever. Looking at these pictures is a sharp reminder of what we've lost, so there have been lots of tears over the last few days. But ultimately, we are amazed at how beautiful Caden was, and how much love we, and our families, were able to lavish upon him.

  3. I have been keeping up with your blog, since reading your story on Hopes blog. I wanted to leave a comment so many times, but just didn't know what to say, I really just want you to know that even though you guys don't know us and we don't know you, we have one thing in common and that is we share the same Heavenly Father and we don't need to know you on a personal level to pray for your family! We are praying for you! The fact that you can even share your story so soon after losing your son is incredible to me. You are truly amazing Godly people. I love the garden and the recent pictures are beautiful! Your little guy was perfect and continues to be so in the arms of Jesus! "A"
