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.
I haven't a clue how to play chess, so am pretty impressed that Eric can. John tried to teach me once - too many rules for me - I don't 'do' rules lol! plus I tend to be more of a doer than I thinker, I can't imagine sitting there for hours just doing that one thing, I'd have to be multi-tasking, you know, with the ironing board to one side! love the pics!
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.

but how did he do?! It doesn't look like there are too many people left in the later pictures so that's pretty awesome!

OMG I could eat that kid. He can even make Chess look cute. That is quite the feat.
