WOW! Thanks for sharing your story of your love in Faith.
May God bless you and keep you. Thomas was an amazing little boy even thought he only lived a short period of time. May he rest in peace and be an angel to watch over your family forever. Congrats! on your new baby girl!!
Thank you so much for sharing and to see the true story behind death.
I have encountered many crisis. Battled for life with bone cancer, had a son in wheelchair after walking and being fine, much much more …. but it is in these times God defined me! Praise God that you know God gives life and decides when he takes. Congrats on your new baby! She will always know that there was baby Thomas and baby Thomas will always know of her.
what an amazing testimony of faith and love and complete trust in God, Thomas was a miracle and his parents were so blessed to have him in his life and he was so blessed to have THEM. he now soars with all the other sweet angel babies.

Most amazing story i’ve ever heard.
This couple, through their love and humanity, should stand as an example to ALL of us, how we should love and cherish our children-even when they are less than perfect. I have the greatest respect for them. What wonderful, awesome, loving human beings.
To T.K. and Deidrea, what an amazingly unselfish thing the two of you did. Thomas was a beautiful child who Im sure is now one of heavens most bright and beautiful angels. I read your update. Congratulations on Baby Isabella. She has some big shoes to fill. She is absolutely gorgeous. God Bless You and your family.
I do pray to God and I thank HIM for whatever he brings to us, even if it’s death…. You’ll believe in HIM when you die that’s for sure and bye then it’ll be too late for you.
it is easy.I am not like you.I don’t try to impose my views like you do.I am not ignorant,you don’t even know me.I won’t argue with you because it is pointless.How i can explain life is of no concern to you-a person who won’t even appreciate my effort to even try and explain.pray to YOUR god…
what a beautiful baby boy, it was a true miracle you both had him for five days,i will keep your family in my prayers,and i will pray for your new baby girl,we just lost a baby girl in our family on jan.21,2010,she had trisomy 18,and was born sleeping,your strength and faith truly shows in this video,god bless you both for sharing it . hafpint69
How can you not believe in higher power? I am amazed at your ignorance. God gives and God takes, if God takes it doesn’t mean He doesn’t exist. God heals, takes and does many wonders for HIS children. If God doesn’t exist how can you explain life, the sky, earth and everything that’s in it?
God bless you and I pray for the best in the rest of your lives with your new baby!
wow….I could just feel how much you two loved your Thomas. What brave and loving parents you are. Blessings to you both and to your new little girl.
Godbless you both for sharing Thomas with us. It was so emotional tears rolled down my face. You did the right thing giving Thomas life he was a gift from god and such a beautiful baby. The love he had in his short time here on earth was truly beautiful. Your courage and bravery was so touching and Thomas had a life time of loving in your arms.I send you love and prayers from Northern Ireland and wish you all the hapiness for the future, godbless you.

This made me cry! He fought so hard but not only did he but all three of you did and it was for the best … God bless u all, You’re all so brave. I woudnt of been able to do it, i dont understand how the both of you did but just know he was so peaceful spending time with his mommy and daddy and getting to know them just like any other new family, my love and prayers are with your family, i wish you the best
You made a beautiful choice, and Thomas knew he was loved. He was God’s perfect angel.
wow, this is extremely moving. that mustve taken so much strength from the parents
this made me cry.
God has a plan for everyone, including children. Thomas was given two of God’s greatest gifts…life and love.
this is a personal opinion.the gift of life has nothing to do with “God”.These people gave all their love,all they could…But i am having a hard time believing that this God exists.Everywhere I look everyone says “God bless you”What god?I cannot believe in something that causes so much pain for just a little infant.Good parents,i wish you only good things,but god will not help you..you will help you.peace
amazing.you and your husband are 2 of the most extraordinary human beings i have come across in a long time.god bless you.and god bless your angel.thank you for sharing your angels story with us.
Ach,TEARS!!! God bless You all!! You did the right thing .
love from Hungary
How beautiful the 3 of u were! He fought so hard … God bless u all, You’re all so brave. I will say a prayer 4 you. And I’ll say a prayer 4 your baby who waits to come in2 the world, she could’nt be in better hands. Much love xXx
Awesome209, I will keep your family in my prayers.
