After Caspian was born we felt an urgency to have a family picture taken. After his 28 days in the NICU and his additional six weeks on oxygen we were just waiting for him to be able to hold his head up so he could sit a bit in the picture and show off his amazing smile. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance before Caspian passed away. A wonderful woman, Heidi Vawdry, volunteered her time to make sure we had a family photo. We are so grateful. These are the only pictures that have our whole big family of six. We are so grateful to the staff and support team at Primary Childrens Hospital. Without them we would have been completely lost through this transition. We are especially grateful to the people who volunteered their time and talents. Because of those people we have beautiful mementos of Caspian's last moments. Footprints, hand molds, dolls, and best of all pictures, help us remember the beautiful last moments with our prince.
Thank you to Heidi Vawdrey Photography for this slideshow.
Through it, we hope that you will feel the special spirit that was there at the hospital. As we struggled with how to say goodbye to our little prince and how to help our children understand and cope with their feelings, we felt inspired to have one more family home evening. We sang our favorite primary songs, said prayers together and talked about the sweet plan our loving Heavenly Father has for us. We talked about the time we spent together before we came to this earth, the purpose of our time here, and the beautiful knowledge that we will be together again. And of course finished up with one last family sandwich. We hope that you feel the same spirit of love and care that we do.
