He passed away and went to our Father so peacefully in our arms while surrounded by so many that loved him whole heartedly
We miss him so much and is thought about every moment of everyday. He has changed my life forever. He has taught me so much and Chris and I are so very proud of him.
When times started to get tough before he left us my parents took me on a walk by the hospital to a river where we sat on a bench and enjoyed our surroundings and there I heard the song I won't give up by Jason Mraz and it reminded me of him. The words "God knows we're worth it" speak volumes. All of this was worth it. Having the time we had was worth it!
We lost my cousin Katie when she was young and I know for certain that she has been holding him and loving him since he got to heaven. It brings me comfort knowing I will get to see him again someday.
Thank you for everything. We love you all.
Would like to send a special shout out to my amazing father and grandfather Dana, Happy Birthday Dad. I love you xoxo
Liam brought me back to God. I was very close with God until 3 years ago when I slowly n slowly pulled away and joined the world. God use to speak to me, tell me things, use me and when I prayed I felt him and things just happened. I found your blog thru a friend and started praying again, for Liam. I was praying harder than I had in years. The spirit came over me and I got the most wonderful measure praying for Liam one night........it was amazing.......my first one since I had fell. Your blog and Liam's amazing self brought me back.
ReplyDeleteMay G-d bless you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss- but it is amazing how you can see even the hardest times in such a positive light. May you know no more sorrow.
ReplyDeleteLove to all of you. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI saw this link on Baby Eastons FB page and clicked on it, I can not imagine what y'all are going thru. As i looked at the pictures posted and there was 1 that just hit me so hard, the one from Nov 10th, when he is looking at you, his face has a look that is LOVE AT ITS PUREST with those big beautiful eyes screaming LOVE toward you. As a parent of 3 boys 7,5,3 my prayers are with you and your family. Even though I just saw this page a few minutes ago, I have no doubt that Baby Liam touched many, many lives. God has a reason and a purpose for him, and I know that may be difficult to see right now, it is for me, and like I mentioned, I just "met" him a few minutes ago. The pictures that you posted show the happy, BEAUTIFUL face of a true Angel. Jesus has his warm, nail-scarred hands wrapped around him now. As he holds him, I can't help but think he is looking at Jesus with that same BEAUTIFUL look of TRUE LOVE that he gave y'all. He is trouble/pain free now. I believe that Baby Liam for sure had a purpose, even though it was not long enough, he has touched many lives. I am a 34 year old man, and knowing what has happened and looking at the pictures it has brought me to sobbing tears. I laid hands on the picture of you all on my computer and ask that Jesus fill your room with comfort and give you strength and peace. This is just temporary, you will get to see him again someday and you can hug and kiss him and once again look in those beautiful eyes. May God keep your family strong and with comfort.
ReplyDeleteangie i really believe U r an amazing individule may god bless u n chris everyday happy birthday to ur dad also Lauri moss
ReplyDeleteI meant to send this to you a couple weeks ago, I find this very appropriate, I have this art print hanging in my daughters room...."This is the start of your sweet little story. The part where your page meets mine. No matter where your tale takes you tomorrow, our story will always read LOVE." I know Liam's story with you and your husband and everyone he has touched will be Love.
ReplyDeleteAngie although I don't know you personally, I have followed your journey with baby Liam. what an example of courage, faith and strength you all have been. my heart aches for you and Chris. May you be strengthened knowing that a whole community of people have been touched by your superhero Liam
ReplyDeleteI continue to pray for you daily. Liam was an amazing little guy who touched more people than you'll ever know. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for everything, even of we don't understand it, although I know you know that :) And you're so right, everything you did for him was worth it! I am so thankful that you were so willing to share Liam with us, even as things became more difficult. Your faith and testimony are incredible! It really will be such a sweet day when you see him again. Thank you for posting this update. I've been wondering how you and Chris are doing & I'll continue to pray for you both.
ReplyDeleteAngie... Yes you are right, Liam brought so many people to prayer, and that is one POWERFUL miracle.I know what you mean about seeing Miracles every day along the way. My Husband died 13 years ago of Renal Cancer... it too was a devestating diagnosis. Along the journey with him there were so many blessings...its hard for someone that hasn't been through it to understand... I do : ) You & Chris were such Faithful Followers during Liams life...and set such an example for others. You showed how walking with faith makes even the most trying times of life possible. With God's love & blessings Karen
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family. Liam is absolutely beautiful

we have said many many prayers for that little guy, and that reminded us to pray for so many others at the same time.... prayer is truly healing and I hope it helps to heal your hearts during thit time. Our prayers won't stop for your family to find peace.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing mother Angie. Your outlook is eternal and I am grateful you have faith to get you through this extremely difficult journey. I am so glad that cousin Katie was waiting anxiously to welcome Liam home where he will be waiting anxiously for his parents to return to live with him for the rest of eternity. All of our love and prayers are being sent your way.
ReplyDeleteI completely fell in love with your beautiful, precious Liam. He definitely stole my heart. Thank you for sharing such a personal story with all if us. Your courage, strength, and faith has inspired me to be a better person, and I thank you for that. You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteAngie and Chris,
ReplyDeleteFor the last several weeks, I have followed Liam's journey and while I will never have the honor of knowing any of you personally, your family has found a special place in my heart. Liam is truly a child of God. And, while he was only with you on this Earth for a short time, he has helped save the souls of countless people and brought countless others back to prayer. He IS a superhero. I am so sorry for your loss; my heart aches for you constantly. You will all remain in my constant prayers. May the peace of the Lord give you comfort.

May God hold you in his arms and flood you with his grace during this time of great loss. Liam was indeed a gift from God, not only to his family but his extended family who has followed his brave journey. Liam, you and Chris have taught us all a lesson in faith above all, courage in the face of difficulty, and grace to live our lives by. Many people who have lived much longer have done much less with their lives than Liam did with his short time here on earth. He has always been in the arms of our Lord and he is now and always has been an angel that everyone could learn from. God Bless you all.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Sandy Williams. I am a good friend of Michael Sugar. Wanted to let you and your family know that y'all are in our prayers. Unfortnately, we feel your pain. Our grandson Reed Anthony Saluto would have been 1 year old today. We spent 32 days at Childrens Hospital in New Orleans. He died of a rare heart disease. We will continue to pray for ya'll strength and if there is anything we can do, Michael knows how to get in touch with me. I know our little angels, Reed and Liam are playing together in God's garden. May God bless you and everyone in your family.
Beautiful! God Bless you and my prayers will continue for you and your family and, of course, for Liam. So amazed by your strength. Can you even imagine how much fun Katie and Liam are having in heaven!? Tears flowed the night that I read that Liam got his wings, but I know he's so content in Jesus' arms!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Amy and I too have an angel in heaven. Someone who follows my angels Facebook page (Never Forget Lily Grace) just told me about your blog. My baby Lily Grace was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and had open heart surgery at just 5 days old. Sadly she became an angel in my arms at just 18 days old when we turned the machines off. This is such a hard journey but having Lily was worth every minute of pain that we now feel. When you feel up to it.. I invite you to read my blog http://believinginhopeandlove.blogspot.com/ and start in May if you want to know how my story began. Lily just became an angel a few days after your baby was born.. Lily Grace 8/11/12-8/29/12.. Prayers for you and your family. I hope that my posts may be of some comfort during your grief if you so choose to read my blog. Lily and Liam are playing in heaven with so many other babies.. God bless you and your family.
ReplyDeleteDear Angie and Chris, My heart aches for you. I can't imagine what you are going thru but I know that GOD has a special plan for Liam. He will always be your very own special Guardian Angel and I am sure Katie is taking great care of him. I'm sure you know my Dad recently went to be with GOD our Father so I asked him to keep a special eye on your little angel. All my love and prayers.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your Superheroes journey with me and so many people. Liam has touched my heart in more ways than one! I never had the chance to meet him, but I miss him too! I have shed so many tears for him and your family. I still do. I think and pray for you and your families everyday. I knew your cousin Katie, I went to school with her and know your Aunt Becky. When Liam passed, i thought to myself, Katie is most definitely there with open arms to lift him up. I live in Boardman, if there's anything I can do for you or your family please don't hesitate to ask. My heart still aches for the loss of your son. He will be forever in our hearts, but never forgotten. I know I will never forget him.
Love Natalie
