I Love This Kid Too!
Oh, and I love my other two kids too. I just didn't happen to get a picture with them this weekend.
Have a grand week everyone!

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.

What a lovely picture Ann! I love Jack's t-shirt. He's always wearing great clothes. xx
"my other two kids?????" Which one are you no longer claiming??? Did you give one away?

Well, there have been occasions where I'd like to disclaim a kid or two! But, Eric was included in the "I Love this Kid" post last Friday ... so, I was referring to Hilary and Mary :-)
Thanks for clearing that up. Thought you had discovered a unique way to lower the grocery bills. LOL
