Gunnar Hosia Dougherty is to the left, he was born asleep on April 27, 1998 at 8:07 am, weighing 4 lbs. 1 oz. and 18 1/2 inches long. River Esparza Dougherty is to the right, he was born asleep on April 27, 1998 at 8:11am, weighing 4 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long.

This is Gunnar when he was only an hour old.

This is River when he was only an hour old.

Our Angel's were meant to be together forever.

These are their footprints, Gunnar's on top, River's on bottom. Actual size.

Sleep tight my angel's, and remember that Mommy Love's you both very much.

The song you hear playing in the background is the song "The River" by Garth Brooks, River is named after this song and Gunnar is named after Garth.

THE RIVER

Sung By: Garth Brooks

You know a dream is like a river

Ever changing as it flows.

And a dreamer's just a vessel

That must follow where it goes,

Trying to learn from what's behind you

And never knowing what's in store.

Makes each day a constant battle

Just to stay between the shores ... and

I WILL SAIL MY VESSEL

'TIL THE RIVER RUNS DRY.

Like a bird upon the wind,

These waters are my sky.

I'll never reach my destination

If I never try.

So I will sail my vessel

'Til the river runs dry.

Too many times we stand aside

And let the waters slip away;

'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow

Has now become today.

So don't you sit upon the shoreline

And say you're satisfied.

Choose to chance the rapids

And dare to dance the tide ... yes

And there's bound to be rough waters

And I know I'll take some falls.

But with the good Lord as my captain

I can make it through them all ... yes

YES, I WILL SAIL MY VESSEL

'TIL THE RIVER RUNS DRY,

'TIL THE RIVER RUNS DRY!

KEEP YOUR ANGEL'S IN YOUR HEART FOREVER..AND NEVER LET THEM GO.

NOTHING from these pages that we have written to our Son's can be taken from

these pages. Some people have asked for us to contribute our Story to their

books, we appreciate the fact that they want us to be in their books, but we are

not comfortable having someone else handleing our story in any manner. Thank

you for your cooperation.

And NONE of the pictures of us or our sons may be copied either.
