sweet things a son can do!(death mentioned)

I heard the best (and saddess) story this weekend. A family that goes to church was telling us how their adoptive son got another tattoo. well he dad was a little upset about it b/c he had just joined the military and couldn't understand why he would get another one. Then he found out what it was...

him and his wife lost their baby during childbirth after 12 hours of labor. Her name was Sarah. His son got a tatoo of a celtic cross with her name on it and the saying "she gave me life..." which is true b/c they wouldn't have adopted him if they hadn't lost her!(oh now i have the chills) his dad saw it and he goes I can't be mad anymore...his mom was like he immortalized her. what a thoughtful and sweet son(he is 19-20 i believe.
