A sad update to Seamus' story below... Please pray for Sharon and Tom during this very difficult time. It's heart breaking. I hate to see any parent have to go through this. If you knew Tom and Sharon you would feel their goodness as people instantly. There are just no words for what they must be going through right now. Thanks Angie. Rachel
The Children's garden on the 8th floor has always been a place for Sharon and Tom to retreat during this journey with Seamus.

Thomas Seamus Johnston March 1, 2009-April 23, 2009
Good morning Angie. I have a prayer request to ask for. I know that the power of prayer can be amazing - so I'm asking for all of the prayers I can find.My husband and I have two amazing friends, Tom and Sharon Johnston who were expecting a baby after quite a while trying. On March 1, Sharon gave birth to Thomas Seamus (pronounced Shay-mus) Johnson. The problem is, Seamus wasn't due until June. So, because he was born about 3 months early, he is literally fighting every day for his life. He's had good days and bad days, but he keeps fighting. He has a long road ahead of him and every day is a test for Seamus and his mommy and daddy.
Tom and Sharon are truly two of the very kindest, most wonderful and positive people we know. They are the people you want in your life forever - and people who are ideal to be parents. I ask for prayers for tiny baby Seamus and for our friends Tom and Sharon!
I've attached a couple of pictures from their website. One of the Johnston's hands and one of Tom's wedding ring on Seamus's arm. Thanks Angie.
