Later the next day, after a grueling 18 hours of labor and a quick C-section (yes, I make it sound like I did so much work that day), Samuel James Verly came into our lives.  He is one of the three most precious people in my life today.  Each day I’m thankful (or at least I try to be) for the miracle that arrived in our lives on March 18, 2005.
