What follows is the story of a brief three-week journey one family experienced when a young mother of six sons, lost son number seven as he died in her womb. The story is related in a series of emails sent by family members as the sad events unfolded. The mom is ardently whole life. The loss of the baby caused his mother, father, brothers, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles intense pain and feelings of loss.
This family hopes, by sharing their story, to convey the importance and sanctity of human life. This baby, Jansen, even though so very small, has changed his family's lives forever. Jansen joins in heaven the miscarrried, stillborn and 52 million babies who have been killed through abortion in America since 1973. These tiny saints never had a chance to achieve their God-intended potential, and we would all be wise to reflect on the magnitude of this loss to our world and to pray for the end to the evil of abortion.
Writing this story has been healing and has given an increased determination to work for human life. We hope that, as you read through it, you are inspired to speak out for all of the unborn who cannot speak for themselves. We hope that the images portrayed in the last email from Jansen's uncle will bring comfort to all who have lost children at whatever age, and that those who have been involved in abortion will find peace in knowing that their little saints are with Jesus.
