Today was such a bittersweet day, being very difficult for Josh and I but at the same time wonderful for Andrew. Andrew passed away around 5:30 PM when he took his last breath in my arms. Josh and I are so sad that he is not here with us, but comforted knowing that he is now safe, comfortable, and happy in the arms of Jesus.
We have a long road ahead of us, please pray for peace in our time of grief.
Andrew Joshua Matson was born at 1:26 pm on January 30th, and went to be with Jesus at around 5:30 pm on March 3rd. He spent his time here on earth living in the NICU at Centennial Hospital in Nashville. Jennifer has been giving daily updates, and we wanted to make them available to our friends and family.
We were blessed to be Andrew's parents for 33 days. While we will always miss him and love him, we know that he is in a much better place where he will never again feel pain or discomfort. We thank God for blessing us with the time we had with Andrew.

God has now healed little Andrew....We will continue to pray for your family as you too are healed...IPeter 4:12-13 "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjotyed when His glory is revealed." I Peter 5:10 "The God of all grace, Who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
With our love, Erin's G'ma Jean
Jen, Josh, and Haley,
