Adam Peniel Paulraj.
9.18.2011-6.12.2016
Our little bird met his Maker and Sustainer…the Shepherd of his soul early this morning.
There was incredible peace that enveloped his fragile, swollen body.
He will be missed by so many. It’s indescribable to explain this ache.
Yet to imagine his body restored and to imagine him surrounded by glory and welcomed by his Father…it’s a pretty good balm to our weary souls. “My heart and my flesh may fail…
BUT GOD
remains the strength of my heart.
He is mine forever.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do” Psalm 73. 26, 28
My heart is broken for you all. Adam spent his life bathed in such pure love and adoration, I can only imagine how much he will be missed by his family. My thoughts and love are with you all.
I am so so sorry for your loss of your sweet little man. I just found your blog a few weeks ago and I am already so invested in your family. I have a special little man myself and I cannot imagine life without him.
Be gentle with yourselves through your grief. Know that a lot of people love your little man
My heart goes out to you & your family. I’ve only been following along for a few weeks & already saw Adam to be such an amazing boy with such a wonderful family. I know he’s resting with our Savior, happy as can be. My condolences to you & yours. May the spirit bring you peace!
I am so sorry to read of Adam’s passing. Such a wonderful, strong, sweet little boy, may God give you all strength through mourning such a loss. I am also a nurse and mother, my heart aches for your family.
I am so sad for you, so heartbroken, really…I really wanted him to live on earth too…yet I’m happy that Adam is finally whole. I imagine how he’s running through Heaven right now, remembering being so loved by his precious family.
I know Jesus will draw you near, the Holy Spirit will sustain you and our Heavenly Father will bless your family, who did His will and expressed His love to this precious child. (((Hugs)))
God bless this little one, and God bless YOU for your inspiring,challenging love and care for him. Praying for you all today. Thank you for sharing his story with those you don’t even know. Please continue to write and share even now as he is surely in heaven.
Jessica, my heart breaks for you and your beautiful family,, and I marvel at the beauty and love that surrounds you and your family as you go through one of life’s most difficult trials. God bless each of you and preserve your memories of an extraordinary little boy.
Dear Ones,
I have been following your blog since you were blessed with sweet Adam. I live in Jacksonville as well. It is with tears running down my face I write this, though I have never met you, you are part of my family. How your story has ministered to me and so many around the world. May our Sweet savior wrap you up in His most loving arms as you grieve, with the promise of being together with Adam again one day.

I am so very sorry for your loss! Sending all my love, thoughts and prayers to yyour family! ? Fly high sweet Adam
Though i weep in sadness for his too brief visit to this world I thank God for the blessing of such a loving family that was bestowed to this beautiful little boy. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.
I only recently discovered your blog, your story, and your beautiful part in His Story. Oh my goodness, my heart hurts for your family right now–for the two of you, who are saying goodbye to your first son, and for your other two who are saying goodbye to their big brother. While I don’t know what you are going through, I do know the pain of losing a big brother–even though I know I will walk beside him on streets of gold one day. You are all in my prayers.
I am so sad to hear of your heartbreaking loss! And I rejoice with you in the knowledge that precious Adam is in our heavenly Father’s tender loving arms, whole and free of suffering and pain. What a blessing his little life on this earth has been!
My love and prayers are for you all. In your quiet moments when your heart aches the most, I pray you will know how very much God loves you and is sitting right beside you whispering”My grace is sufficient for you”. Will continue to pray for you.
Love, MS Jackie (Easter Seals).
My heart is broken, my soul is aching… what can I say? .. even tho I knew baby Adam was an angel that the Lord lent us for a determined period of time, I am here, in the other side of the world weeping non stop… I pray for our dear baby to be in Peace, and for you to be strong in these difficult moments… Adam has the best family he could ever have.. I will always admire your strength and love.. you are the best people I’ve ever heard of.. sending you blessings and love from Norway <3
I am so sorry for your loss and the heartache you are now feeling. I am so happy for little Adam for the loving family that he was part of during his short life, and can only imagine the joy and peace he must be experiencing now in the presence of our heavenly Father. I learned much from you and pray that the Lord will comfort you in the way He knows best. Many blessings, Alta from South Africa
Everything Angelica said. Have been following your story for a long time but never commented. Though your words have lifted me up so many times I am at a loss for words today. Love and prayers to the Paulraj family from Ireland, may He hold you all in his tender loving arms today and always.
Tears roll down my face as I write this and I don’t even know you. BE ENCOURAGED! You did an amazing job with Adam. What precious memories you will have as a family. Better still we all know that Adam is now in the arms of Jesus running and rejoicing on the streets of heaven. HALLELUJAH!
May the Lord help you through your days of grief and continue to provide you with the peace that passes all understanding.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all. My heart is saddened and also rejoiced. I will miss your laughter and your awesome hugs. I have comfort in knowing that you are at peace. I can see you know singing, laughing and playing in heaven. I will miss you and remember you always.

I don’t know you but I love you all. Gods love wrap you up. No words.
I am so sorry for your loss. Adam’s life has reached out and touched so many and been a glorifying light for the Lord. Your family will be in my prayers.
I am so sad to hear your little bird, Adam, has left his earthly home, but also rejoicing he’s with Jesus. Praying the God of all comfort will comfort your hearts.Adam and your family have been such a blessing to me and so many others.looking forward to meeting Adam in heaven some day.
Dear Jessica and Raja,
I just came across your amazing story and immediately afterwards found out that Adam has passed away. He will be safe and happy now, waiting for you until the day we all meet our Creator. May God protect you and your family, and may He guide us to the right path. My prayers are with you at this time.
Peace and blessings from Istanbul.
So very sorry for your loss and broken hearts. May God comfort you with the comfort only He can give.
Jessica and her husband, you gave the chance to Adam to meet Jesus, his love and his mercy… Jesus gave a second chance to the child to know and feel what is love and received a kiss from his love ones. You were the vessel that our Lord Jesus used to have Adam know True Love, Know Jesus. It is our hope that you will see each other again in heaven and in the rapture of the church. As a new mom and believer of God Almighty, parenthood is a privileged that God gives to human. Yet with you Adam was blessed because you gave Adam Jesus. I thank you for the bottom of my heart . And our Lord Almighty with his Holy Spirit Comfort you. “Stay in Jesus and in his Salvation plan”, so not only you live in heaven, but also to rejoice with Adam all eternity as well. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
I am so sad and sorry to hear about Adam. May the Kord strengthen and comfort u.
So sad to learn that you will no longer be gifted with this precious little bird in your daily lives…but God chose you both to raise him up with love and teach him that God makes no mistakes. What an honor He gave you and what an honor for us that you have let us into your lives to share this journey with all of you. Make God give you the strength and peace to go forth with joy in your hearts for the time that he had in this world and the indelible mark that Adam will leave on so many hearts. He certainly left a mark on mine. Sending you much love. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I came across your blog a couple years ago and your faith, grace, authenticity and maturity stood out to me. I haven’t been keeping up but God brought you all to my mind just now and I discovered this news. I am grieving with you, praying for your hearts and minds.
May Adam’s Creator give you his perfect peace in these days. Thank you for following Him so faithfully and being an example to others.
Shalom, Sarah in Canada

May Our Heavenly Father hold Adam in His loving arms. I pray He gives all who loved Adam strength as you go through your days of grief. Keep all those memories alive in your hearts and know Adam loved you with his. God Bless.
Bless you for loving Adam for whatever time he had on earth. I remember seeing an epitaph on a child’s headstone from the 19th century. It is a very apt epitaph for the occasion of Adam’s death – “to us this child was given, to bud on earth and blossom in heaven’. Rest in peace, Adam!
Thank you for loving this little boy and giving him a good life. Even though it was a short life, he looked happy and loved. My heart breaks for your loss. I pray that God will comfort your family. Sending my love and condolences.
Hugs & prayers!! You were wonderful parents.Your love,kindness,caring for Adam was Gods perfect love.Adam has always been a precious little angel.His story has moved hearts all over the world.He is in Gods presence praising His holy name.God bless,and may the peace of God be with you,friends and family??❤️??
I am so sorry for Your loss. There are no words that can soothe that pain. My heart goes out to you.
God bless
I am saddened to read about Adam’s passing. The Lord has called him home to live in his kingdom. There will be no more suffering for this amazing baby. I praise you parents in providing him with love and understanding that every child deserves. I pray the Lord gives you strength as you grieve and blesses you with his love and grace. Amen.
God bless your heart for all the unconditional love it can give. Adam will be forever beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
I just came across the story of this gift of GOD starting with his birth and the wonderful parents my LORD had in place to receive him! Then I saw additional information on his journey to Philadelphia and the subsequent surgeries that improved his quality of live! But things don’t always follow towards the joy and expectation we project. I was distraught to read of his passing. GOD though knew what HIS plan was and HIS will is always the best. So I marvel in the happiness and love both parents and child and siblings afforded one another! Thanks to this wonderful couple for letting Adam feel, hear, and see love everyday of his life. Amen
God Bless you all ..your family is the example of what God is..The light of life will forever shine bright for your little boy xo Thinking of you with heartfelt thoughts and prayers
Jessica,
I’ve read your blog for years and been so encouraged by your honest faithfulness on this hard journey. For some reason, this post just popped up in my feed this morning, months after you and your family experienced this loss and gift. I’m mourning with you on the loss of your son, and rejoicing with you at the rock solid truth that Adam is with His Creator, perfect, whole, unbroken. I’m trusting Jesus has ministered to all of you in these last few months and praying He will continue to do so, even today. May the hands that threw the stars in the sky and scooped the oceans out of the earth hold you now.
Much love,
Joanna
