Andrew Christian Olson

March 17, 1998 - December 23, 1998

Andrew Christian Olson was our first child.  He was born March 17, 1998 at 12:19 pm.  We were blessed with 9 wonderful months of his life.  Andrew went to be with Jesus on December 23, 1998.  We love and miss him so much.  These are some memories of our son.

-- Andrew loved to play in his excersaucer, and sometimes even under it. (Shadow, our cat taught him how to do that)  --Peek-a-boo from the crib was always a fun part of waking up for him.  --Riding Tigger (his last picture, taken the morning of December 23, 1998.)
 

When Andrew smiled or laughed, everyone noticed his wide open mouth grin.  He loved animals of all kinds, especially ducks and chickens, when daddy tried to imitate their noises.  Mommy could always make him happy when he wasn't feeling too good.

Andrew went on to be with Jesus on December 23, 1998.  He was 9 months old.  Though we miss him very much, we know he is in a much better place.  He got to celebrate Jesus' birthday up in Heaven.  I am jealous.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU MY SON,

ANDREW CHRISTIAN OLSON.

love, Daddy

Andrew Olson, I'm jealous of you
You're in a much better place and
God is there too!

Now you're with the angels in the sky.
You have your wings and you can fly!

Andrew Olson, I know you're here, so out
Of everyone in the church, please take
Out any fear.

I bet you like the streets of gold,
And I know you miss Mommy and Daddy,
But be brave and bold.

Andrew Olson, you now live far away,
But the church will be there
And greet you someday.

Now let's all take a time to remember
The little guy, and if you live him,
Feel free to cry.
