Happy Birthday Austin!!!!

Austin Douglas Stell was our first baby boy and would be 3 years old today. For those of you who do not know, I delivered Austin at 20 weeks because I have an incompetent cervix. He weighed right under a pound, he was as perfect as I knew he would be. He had my nose and his daddy's toes and I knew when I held that little boy that God had his hands full. We dont know the reason God chose to take him but we have to know that God's plan was far greater than we could imagine. Austin was God's baby before he was ours and it brings comfort to us knowing that God's is taking care of him now. We will always hold Austin in our hearts. I know that Austin watches over us everyday and he knows how much we love him.

As I told you 3 years ago. My grandmother lost a child at birth and we still "knew" Bobby Jack even though none of us ever met him. Happy Birthday Austin! You will not be forgotten.

My mom also had a baby boy that we still know as our brother. I can't believe he would be three. He was perfect and he knows you and Doug loved him very much. God just lets us "borrow" his children.
