Happy Birthday Samantha Lee

So today is 6 years since Samantha was born. Samantha was born on Fathers Day. She died at birth due to a heart defect called "atrial septial defect." We love her and miss her so much. I would never want to re-live the moments when she passed, but still cherish the little time that we shared with her precious body and spirit. Samantha was such a little kicker and fighter. It was a hard birth and I felt her strength throughout it. Samantha was our first and she will forever hold a special place in my heart. Happy Birthday Samantha... we think of you always and I know that we will have the chance to live with you again someday. Weston is here with me and says "I love you and I heart you!" He also said that you are so cute, and he wishes you were in our happy family. So cute. Aubrey is off making "birthday cards" for Samantha and we made rice crispy treats to celebrate this day. I am grateful for all of my kids and what we learn from being a parent.
