"As I rocked our baby down for a nap I heard my phone vibrate as a text rolled in. It occurred to me then as I saw my spouse’s number pop up on my phone that I had not texted him earlier as I intended."
“It caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting to hear that news at the ultrasound. It reminded me of the loss of my husband, with his loss came blessings."
At just 3 pounds, the baby who is now named Samuel Tyler was so small he fit in a shoebox. And that's the where his birth mother put him as a makeshift cradle when she left him at a local firehouse with a note explaining she couldn't care for him.
