When Stefanie and Adam learned their unborn daughter had a fatal condition, their world shattered. Doctors said she might only live minutes — if she survived birth at all. But they chose love, not fear.

They carried Samantha Rose to term, promising her every moment she wished to stay. She arrived at 36 weeks… and lived not minutes, but three precious days.

Stefanie held her constantly — memorizing her warmth, her scent, her softness.
They were the hardest yet sweetest days of their lives.

After Samantha passed, Stefanie donated her milk to save another baby, letting her daughter’s love continue.

Samantha’s life was brief, but its impact is endless — proof that even the shortest life can change the world, and love, no matter how small, lasts forever.
