George Sherwood: I’ve never been known to be an overly religious person, but through all my children’s pregnancies and births I’ve prayed to the Lord. When we found out we were having twin boys I prayed twice as hard and twice as much to keep them safe and protected. When they were delivered under the circumstances that they were I stopped praying and started talking to God one on one, to walk them through their pain, and I know in my heart He did just that. He left Kane Charles with us to walk by our sides hand in hand. He took Brantley James to walk with him by his side. So he felt no pain. To our Son “Brantley the Bull” we will never stop praying or lose our faith because of you. –Love your Family–
