Heaven Has A New Angel

I just got word from my cousin that baby Owen went to be with Jesus this afternoon. Though his life was short, it was full of purpose. Enjoy your new Heavenly home, sweet boy!

All day I've been seeing people post things about today's date, 3/16, and relating it to the scripture found in John 3:16. I don't think it's any accident that Owen went to be with his Heavenly Father on this special date. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE." Owen now has everlasting life and will never again feel pain or sadness!

Here is what Jerica, Owen's Mommy, just posted on Facebook. Just another example of her unchangeable, unshakable faith!!

"Our precious baby Owen is now our angel in heaven. May the seed he planted in your life bloom forever. We are forever changed and the proudest parents in the whole wide world. Thanks for your prayers and support. We love you all."

Gone but never forgotten!!

About Me

Matthew and I met on a blind date in the summer of 2006. By March of 2007 we were engaged and then married in April of 2008 in Tallahassee, FL. Shortly after, Matthew's job moved us to Charleston, South Carolina and on September 20th, 2010 we were blessed with our first child, Kyndall Anne Hughes. She is a true miracle and words cannot express the joy that she has brought into our lives! In January of 2013, Matthew's job moved us once again--This time to Jackson, TN. Much of our lives revolve around my health issues and we are no strangers to Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville. I have a rare autoimmune disorder called PSC in which my own body attacks my liver and other healthy organs. The only cure is a liver transplant. Our lives were forever changed when I received my miracle on September 16, 2014. On this day I was given the gift of life as a precious donor's wish was fulfilled and therefore my life sustained. My life will never be the same and I am eternally grateful to this person, though I know nothing about them. I hope to someday have a face and a name to go along with my gift. In the meantime I will continue to be a strong advocate for organ donation, sharing my story with anyone who will listen. In August of 2016 my husband accepted a promotion to Dallas, Texas which is now where we reside. I am a dental hygienist by occupation, but I am blessed to be living my true lifelong dream of being a stay-home-Mom. I couldn't make it through my day without my camera, my chapstick, a cold Coke Icee and at least one phone call to my Mama. We enjoy the simple things in life: Family, friends, and our faith. We strive to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to God and we daily thank HIM for all we have been given! We hope that you enjoy reading about our simple everyday joys, our trials and our adventures as we share them periodically with you through this blog!
