Carver Lee Cobb
June 7th, 2011- July 12th, 2011
Our sweet, brave Carver Lee Cobb was born June 7th, 2011 at 1:03 pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz. and was 18 inches long. With soft, pink skin, chubby cheeks, and peach fuzz, he was so beautiful. We all, family and friends, anticipated his arrival and prayed for courage and strength. It is amazing how even though Carver was only with us for a short period of time, he made a lasting impression on so many lives. Because of the precious gift God gave us our lives have changed forever. Through Carver, God has made us better family members, better friends, better parents, better Christians, and better people. Jared and I feel so blessed that God trusted us with His son Carver, and we loved him as much as possible. Now we will cherish those moments we had with him like the way his baby blues eyes sparkled, the way he would suck in his lip and pout out his chin, the incredibly tight grip he had saying please don’t leave yet, the way he amazed his nurses and doctors by sucking a paci even though he was so sick, or how proud Corbin was to be Carver’s big brother. Even though Carver had a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and was labeled as having half a heart, he had more heart and courage than anyone I know. And he strengthened our hearts greatly. We wanted Carver to come home with us so badly, but we knew that his home was not with us. So we told Carver how much we loved him, how proud he made us, and then we told him to go home to Jesus. We will miss our son, but he will forever remain in our hearts and our memories. Thank you God for our gentle warrior, our fighter, our brave heart, our miracle, our angel…OUR baby Carver Lee.
Heart Hugs and Hope
