Beautiful...we grieve with you and know that God will carry us all through!!! My love and prayers being sent your way...May God embrace your family so that you can physically feel His love surround you!!
Greg and Nicol-- What an awesome tribute to this little guy and his life! I, of course, cried and cried and the realizition of how beautiful he is! Both in these pictures and in Heaven today! Praying for you both often, with much love.
God bless and keep all of you. I had not been here in a while, and I looked you up yesterday. Then today, I visited Angie's blog and read what yesterday was. I had not realized it had been a year. I hope you are all healing, but I know there are difficult days, to say the least. I am thankful for our blessed hope!
That one with his tongue out is my favorite. It shows just how REAL he truly was for those that never got to touch or see him in person. A little being. A human. A son. A brother. A child.
One missed deeply by so many. He had a special little soul, I see it in his eyes.
I can't even begin to imagine how much YOU and your wife miss him. I hurt thinking of that.
I hope that your journey while here on earth is filled with brighter days to come. I hope a new little one will be on the way soon. I hope that God's peace and comfort will allow your heart to not hurt so bad.
Wow,there are just no words after watching that.I thought about you guys so much yesterday as we celebrated our little girls first birthday.Praying for you as always.Love~Tasha in Indiana
That was beautiful Greg. Thank you for sharing. He was a beautiful boy and I know he is a beautiful angel looking down on your and your family. May God continue to bless you all with his grace and mercy.
Greg & Nicol, that was so so beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I can't even fathom what you're going through, but please know you are in my heart and my prayers.
That was a beautiful tribute to your sweet little boy. Wish I had the power to heal the ache in your hearts and your empty arms. Even as a stranger I can't help but feel so much sadness for all of you. One should never have to bear this amount of pain. I pray for you and pray the lord blesses you with another sweet gift of life so you and Nicole can feel the joy once again. No one deserves it more than the two of you.
I am just so so sorry God has chosen you to walk this road, it is something so ppowerful I could never comprehend why.....
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us.
And I LOVE to hear Nicol's voice.
Following your blog all the way up here in Picton, Ontario, Canada; and praying that God will rain down His blessing on you all as you continue to grieve the loss of your two babies.
What a wonderful comfort it is to know that someday we WILL be with our babies in Heaven. I long for that day myself.
Beautiful! I think of you often even though I don't know you personally. And I pray for you often! Hallelujah what a Saviour we serve and the hope He has given you and Nicole. May God shower you with love and comfort today!!
Oh, the tears. I've been praying for you especially this week.
Over here, we're coming up to Red nose day, organised by SIDS and Kids Australia. (http://www.sidsandkids.org) I remember last year, just after Luke went to Jesus, I stood at the counter with the things to buy and felt the tears glide down my cheeks. This year, I brought a magnetic nose to stick on my car. I've written Luke's name on it.
That video brought tears to my eyes. He was such a precious, beautiful little boy and I know the world is a better place because of his life.
I pray love and peace over your family that goes beyond all understanding, that only the Lord can provide. I pray that other people feel as blessed and encouraged as I do, by seeing Luke's sweet little face.
I pray that that you found peace yesterday and that the Lord kept you close to Him. Please know that you are being thought of always! Much love and many prayers! JB
i can't imagine how you feel, but you left us thinking we can because you put your whole heart into those words. thanks for sharing with us. sending you love and prayers.
Greg, you and your beautiful wife and daughter are in our thoughts and prayers every day. We know how much you grieve your beautiful baby boy, but are inspired by your faith and hope. We wish you some peace over this time.
Thank you so much for sharing. I've been checking in all week, praying for you and thinking of you! The video brought me to tears, what a beautiful little man! God bless, Emily
Absolutely beautiful. I was moved to tears and even though we have never met, I greive little Lukey with you. He has touched my heart in a special way.
The song is just beautiful...from a mother's heart!
This was absolutely beautiful. I'm sitting here crying and thinking about so my families who have lost children and how this song will hopefully touch them. Thank you for sharing - heaven sure has a beautiful boy waiting for you!
That was so beautiful. I love to look at your family pictures. I have been praying much for each of you. Nicol your voice is absolutely beautiful and I can just imagine you singing to Baby Luke.
I had very rough night last night (it seemed as if the grief was just closing in again) and as I was crying out to God I felt like that little bird in the Dr. Seuss book 'Are You My Mother'.
Lord, I know I had peace, I did have, I think I had peace, Lord where is my peace?
And just like the bird, I can't know what it's like because I've never seen or been this way before. It's not the way I would have chosen. But I know it's out there and I have to stay near to God and trust that he will bring me, my sister and my mother through this. Thank you for sharing your little man with us and part of your heart. In God's Love, sheila
Greg & Nicole, my heart aches for your family! Please know that you are in my prayers often...I will continue to pray for you as you continue to grieve for little Luke. Feel comfort in Gods love. Love In Christ...~Melissa in MN
I have never seen eyes like Lukey's before. So beautiful and wise. I wish I could take away all of your pain. Praying for God to wrap his arms around your family
This is just beautiful. Tears streaming down my face as my heart is heavy for you, knowing that the 27th must have been so hard. Tears streaming down my face as I miss Isaac and would have wanted so much more than the 16 minutes we had with him.
What an awesome tribute to both your sweet Luke and our loving Father.
My heart aches with you as you remember Luke in such a beautiful way. I cry for Luke, and my 2 babies who are in Heaven with him, David and Alyssa...tears flow as I listened to the song. I am so touched.
Dear Sponbergs, Thank you for sharing that beautiful tribute to your son. I love the song; it reminds me of all we really hope for in this earthly journey. Life with Him forever. With much love, I continue to pray for you all, lisa
My heart hurts for you both as I know the pain brings tears as you continue to grieve. My prayer is that God fills the empty place in your heart with His love. I can't wait for the day that we get to hold our beautiful boys again forever! Great to see you guys again by chance (or not) Nicol you looked beautiful.
Wow! I can't imagine singing that to my baby. The words are too beautiful to even descibe what they speak to me. Your Lukey, he was just absolutely perfect. And, to think of him laying on the chest of Our Father....it kind of makes me speechless. God Bless and Keep you.
What a beautiful song. Nicol's words have meant so much to me over the past several years. I truly believe your family has more awaiting you in Heaven than most of us do. What a reunion that will be when you finally get to see your baby boy again. Until then, "in Jesus' name, we press on."
I have been reading your blog for quite some time but I have never posted. You have been such an encouragement to us. We lost a baby boy at 15 weeks gestation 2 years ago. I went through delivery and held his little, perfectly formed body in my hands. As much as we grieve for him, I cannot imagine how you must grieve for your little boy. Thank you for reminding me that we do not grieve without hope. Sometimes it hurts so bad that it feels like there is no hope. Thank you for reminding me.
I pray that God will bless you again with a baby that you get to raise here on earth for God's glory.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and song celebrating the life of your precious son. I am so sorry for your pain and continue to pray. Words fail me but God's Words never fail us. And Nicol, never, ever quit singing. God bless your hearts as you continue to seek Him. In Christ, Susan in Riverside. Ps. 139:16-17
That is an awesome video - thanks for sharing. We grieve with you in HOPE. Thank God for his grace and mercy and especially the HOPE He gives for a better place!
Thankyou for sharing this beautiful song. We lost our little girl just a few months ago. She was born still the day before her due date. Your song really touched my heart. God bless you, - Heidi http://www.savannah-rose.com
That was beautiful! My son's name is Luke and we call him Lukey, so that really touched something in me. I pray the Lord's peace over your family. Grieving with hope, what beautiful words.
Thank you for sharing your sweet little man with us. That video was so moving and the song is just beautiful. Praying for your family as you continue to grieve with hope.
Oh Greg, that is the most beautiful video and the song is so touching and perfect. So painful and wonderful to watch. You and your family is always in my prayers.
Wow! Great video. You are blessed to know Luke. You knew him and now God holds him. Oh how awesome is that thought. Sorry you are grieving. Hugs and prayers for your family. The love he has for you hasn't gone anywhere. He came here to bless you. Colorado Blessings
Oh my goodness..that video made me cry. Luke was such a beautiful boy. I can only imagine the hurt you must have felt and are still feeling now. I pray that God will continue to heal your hearts.
I have not commened on this for some reason. I wanted to let you know what a blessing this song is. When we lost our daughter, "I will carry you..." became our theme. Now, months later, we have to remember to look forward too, which for us has been so hard. This song reminds me of the hope we have in our gracious Father! We pray for and think of you and all many others who have lost children and unborn babies as well.
Greg and Nicol - I know I'm way behind, but I hadn't checked your blog in a while so I just saw this beautiful video of your sweet Luke. What a touching tribute to his life. I am still praying for you all and Summer. I'm sure you treasure every picture and memory you have of Luke. He was such a precious little boy. God Bless and comfort you.

Daniel 12:3b "and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever."

Lukey..........
Lukey...........
Lukey.............
I know I already left a comment, but I was thinking of Luke again tonight.
I can't help (even as a stranger)...but still a mother. WHO HE WOULD BE TODAY.
What would be his favorite dish, toy or story.
Praying for you tonight.
Thanking God for Luke! He was beautifully and wonderfully made!
This is beautiful Greg & Nicol, thanks for sharing. I look forward to meeting Lukey when I get to heaven, and you too.
Love,
Gloria Lehman
Wow! I can't imagine singing that to my baby. The words are too beautiful to even descibe what they speak to me. Your Lukey, he was just absolutely perfect. And, to think of him laying on the chest of Our Father....it kind of makes me speechless.
