Sam, my rainbow child.

Genesis 9:13New International Version (NIV)

¹³ I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

The bereaved parents community have adopted this rainbow and called their children who have been born after their deceased  child rainbow children.  

Sam is my rainbow child. He came 7 years after Andrew. I didn't plan for him. God knew that though in my head, I didn't want any more children, in my heart I desired one.  


At this Green Trail at Currumbin Sanctuary, Sam had to leap over one board to another. It was very jiggly but he managed to complete 4 courses when people did three. I was a very proud mum.
