One of my friends took some beautiful photographs of my Luke
when he was one month old.
We treasure these photos every day. Cherish every moment
 

Update June29, 2009

Our little Luke was a miracle baby, a cheeky monkey and a real little champ and although his life sounded short at 5.5 months, the impact he has made in our lives will last a lifetime.

Our beautiful boy had Trisomy 13, so we always knew that he wasn't expected to live a long life. We prayed for a simple thing, the chance to meet him alive so we could tell him we loved him. We got this and more! Luke surprised his health professionals and outlived most people's expectations, he always had a surprise up his sleeve. Luke and our God had everything under control. He was born on his terms, lived on his terms and passed away on his terms in the loving arms of his Mummy.

So many prayers were answered in Luke's life, and beyond. At every perceived roadblock there was an answer provided by God and by our tough little Lukey.

Our family made the most of every second with our beautiful boy. We had many fun times and celebrated every crazy little thing and achievement and milestone. He was a miracle baby and, in our eyes at least, was the most beautiful boy ever born.

Of course we miss our gorgeous Luke. It is, however, a great comfort to know he is in heaven where he is having a ball and that we'll get to be with him again one day.

Brief update
Luke is our little miracle baby!

Throughout our pregnancy we just prayed and prayed that we’d meet our little Luke alive. These prayers, and so many more, have been answered as Luke is now near 4 weeks old.

He is going along nicely but does breathe heavily and hard, most probably due to a significant hole in his heart which is similar to Tetralogy of Fallot.

Despite this, he is a real little champion, a complete joy. He has already taught us, and many others who come into contact with him, so much. We love this little boy with all our heart.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Cor 9:15)
