I want to dedicate this post to Landon Bonnett-Castillo and his amazing parents, Erin and Carlos.
Baby Landon was born with Trisomy 13, a genetic disorder, here at Yokosuka Naval Base. http://www.livingwithtrisomy13.org/ He wasn't expected to live after his birth, but he defide the odds and gave his parents 58 days of pure joy and life. Yesterday morning, Landon went home to God to live a life watching over his loving and dedicated parents.
I want all of us to pray for their hearts to be healed and for God to continue to give them great strength. I want all of us to give our own children a hug that lasts a bit longer today to appreciate their health and to give thanks to our lives.
This family has been an inspiration to so many. As to myself, I am amazed at their faith in God and the strength of their young hearts. Please feel free to visit their blog site, http://www.bonnett-castillo.blogspot.com/ as they have been so inviting to others to join in the celebration of Landon's life.

I will say a special prayer.... I wish them peace and comfort... thanks for making such a special dedication.
Thank you for sharing this story Rachael!! I am of course particularly touched because of the sweet little angel's name, but as I read the blog, I could see the strength of the parents-I sit hear with tears streaming down my face. God has certainly blessed with gifts of faith and courage!!
My Lanny is sleeping, but I will be sure to give him a big cuddle when he wakes up-along with his brother and sister.
I love reading of all your adventures!! Thanks for sharing them with us.
