Sam.

by Mandi on January 1, 2009

Although I avoided thinking about it too much at first, we did finally decide to name our baby Sam. It’s still hard for me to grasp that I have these three tiny souls waiting for me in Heaven that I’ll never get to hold or rock, and seeing a pregnant woman still takes my breath away. But as we’ve walked the road of Sweet Doodle’s newly diagnosed blood disorder and hospital stay, we’ve been reminded again to be thankful for the many blessings we do have, and while I will always miss the opportunity to know Sam this side of Heaven, I don’t want to lose sight of that.

We also got this ornament, and I added it to the tree next to Riley and Taylor’s.

Thanks again for walking through this with me!

Perfect name. Doesn’t it mean “God hears”? Such a great reminder for a hard situation.
