Little Boys
Little Boys . . .
Legos everywhere
Fruit and vegetable characters
Shoes and socks left where they drop
SpongeBob in the afternoon
Happy all the time
Little Boys are Great!

Hope is the thing that is willing to take a chance on the future. Hope is the capacity to see something on the horizon that we are willing to move toward. If our hope gets us from today to tomorrow, and in that new day we are ready or able to deal with something we thought we couldn’t face, then hope has done its job. There is a worse thing than false hope. It is no hope.
Our son, Jack was born with an unknown subtype of congenital muscular dystrophy. Jack's disease caused him to have severe muscle weakness and he was ventilator dependent from four months of age until his death at the age of 15. This blog started out as a way to keep family and friends updated on Jack's spinal fusion surgery in the summer of 2006. Thereafter, it has become a window into Jack's life and the lives of those who loved him.
Our beautiful son died peacefully in my arms on January 5, 2014. Jack's journey is over. As Jack's mom, I now have to figure out how to live "Ann's Journey". I'm not sure where I go from here, but I know that wherever I go, Jack will always be with me, in my heart and guiding me in all I do.
Thank you for riding along with us on our journey.

Too cute! The Lego's remind me of Malakai, and Aubrey is the shoe and sock culprit in our house. I especially love the Veggies. Too cute! But the best of all are those boys. Smoochies!!!
I agree Ann, little boys are wonderful, even if they do leave shoes and socks lying around (actually, I've got a BIG boy that does that!)
gotta love them :)

I am constantly harping on those socks. Guess I need to appreciate them!

Sandra, the shoes and socks drive me NUTS too! Eric is a tornado and he leaves stuff in his path throughout the house. I only shared a fraction of Eric's crap scattered about. But, you gotta love little boys!
I love the fruit and vegetable characters! Did he think this up on his own? Hmmmm, gives me an idea for a stop animation movie!:-)
Cindy - Eric got the idea from a book he brought home from school. I don't remember the name. The kid is always creating/building/drawing things.
