Hi there, thank you for the introduction. It is a sad but welcomed one. Your son is just beautiful. Yes, our stories are very similar. It is nice in some way to know that someone out there knows what you are going through. Your pictures are just beautiful as well, were they done by NILMDTS? It's interesting, there is this sub-culture it seems, this secret alternate universe you can only access by a devastating loss such as ours. Thank God for it though. Again, thanks for the introduction, glad to meet you. :)
This was taken at sunset in Western Australia by Carly and Sam Dudley in memory of Connor. It is a beautiful service that they provide to bereaved parents. Thank you Carly and Sam!

Jim and I met at Goshen College and we got married on June 1, 2002. After 5 years and one wonderful dog, Stumpers, we decided to expand our family. On December 31, 2008 we gave birth to our beautiful first born son, Connor James Sauder Neff. Due to a birth injury there was significant brain damage and on January, 7, 2009, Connor passed away. My first post describes in some detail Connor's short life and though we are devistatingly heartbroken, we always love our son Connor. This blog is an attempt to honor our son by describing how he has always and forever changed our lives.
