Charles Alexander Richardson came into our lives in the best possible way, through love and God's grace. Just 5 months into marriage our family of two was growing! We savored every moment. Taking an early anniversary trip, Charlie had his first international family vacation, tucked safely in Mom's growing belly. Always thinking our little one was a boy, we took to calling him "Baby C" until it was confirmed. Soon after, Charlie became "Thumper" because of the strength with which he bounced around. He has been an absolute joy to parent. Charlie knew Dad's touch and offered hearty kicks and flips to amuse him. From the moment of conception, Charles has given us a new understanding of love and life. Sadly, after 21 weeks or vibrant life, Charlie went to be with the Lord long before we thought he would be called. What joy has this little one brought us. Our little boy, brings us so much joy. Our little man, held by God's hand. We love you, CAR. We look forward to holding you in our arms again.
