Though we have never met.. my thoughts and prayers continue to go out to your family during this most difficult time. I've been reading the most beautiful discriptions of your precious Adam, what I blessing to have him as your son. Adam must of been really special to have been called home so young. Jesus must of needed him for a task that only Adam could accomplish. You must be really good parents, because Jesus picked you as his parents for his short time and knew you could accomplish what needed to be done. I hope it brings you some comfort in knowing that with your faith it will bring you together again one day.

With love from a mom and grandma

Dr Gott and Family,
On my 98 year old Grandma's bended knee, she continues to teach me ways about our loving God and the belief's she has held near and dear to her heart for so many years. She believes that our children, are God's blessings bestowed on us on earth. They are put into our care as parents when they are young to love, protect, nurture and teach. As they grow older, and us as well, we set them free like butterfies in flight. God sometimes calls his children home so much sooner than our hearts can bear. His will is much stronger than ours alone. Grandma believes that everyone is assigned the amount of heartbeats for their lifetime from God at birth. Some get more, and some get less, depending on your life's purpose. Not knowing Adam personally, it sounds like he was a great young man, with a twinkle in his eye and a bright smile. I hope and pray that your family will stay strong together. The church, neighbors, co-workers, friends and strangers will circle you in love, kindness and support. Remember to watch the beautiful butterflies, and there you will find God's grace and everlasting peace.
