And, I thank you for that. <br />I hope in the coming years you can find solace in reading back over the postings. Nothing will ever replace writing about Jack's daily happenings, but I hope you will continue to write about your feelings and memories. A lasting legacy. Best wishes to you, and your family.

Thank you Ann, for sharing Jack with all of us.<br /><br />Your Sister-in-Law, AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-14235639445094380572014-06-27T11:41:40.726-07:002014-06-27T11:41:40.726-07:00Oh Ann, I'm sorry to hear that you intend to s...Oh Ann, I'm sorry to hear that you intend to stop blogging. But I do understand that you have to do what is right for you and your family right now. Your writing about your life with Jack has helped so many. Unfortunately many of us will eventually be members of the "mothers of children who have died too soon" club and I think your sharing this part of the "journey" has been helpful too. And it has reminded those of us who may be members some day, that we are not members yet and the best thing we can do is love our children every day we have them. Your love for Jack will never end. He will be forever in your heart and ours. Although Jack is no longer here I still consider you president of the "trach mom" club. I'm glad you are allowing yourself time to grieve without expectations. Please don't stop telling people how you are doing. Although there is nothing we can say to ease your pain we care and will listen any time you need an ear or shoulder. XOXO.

Yo...Thank you, Ann, for sharing Jack's Journey. Your writing of this journey that was so intimate, passionate, intense and eloquent made me realize that life is so complex. If you didn't know, you gave many the true definition of what commitment and determination. And most importantly, you defined the word ONWARD.<br /><br />I will miss this blog. I will miss your beautiful thoughts of your Jack.<br /><br />Thank you...Dominica Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-56914425797020913522014-06-27T08:19:47.596-07:002014-06-27T08:19:47.596-07:00Oh, I will miss this place, dearly. But I know it ...Oh, I will miss this place, dearly. But I know it isn't the end of my relationship with you. It's just where I got to know you better. <br /><br /> Though I get your point about grief being universal, I'm not sure I agree it isn't different. That's the beauty of our unique souls. You are the only YOU who has lost HIM. That makes it unique. I'm not tired of sharing your grief.<br /><br />I've learned so much from you, and yes, it's hard to face the truth that I'm more likely to lose a child than most parents and it's easier to push that thought away than face it. But facing it forces me to appreciate what we have while we have it and that's a good thing. I can't thank you enough for allowing us into your thoughts and feelings all these years. If nothing else you've improved my empathy. <br /><br />Good-bye to Jack's Journey. I'm so grateful to have been a pebble on the path. <br /><br />Love always,<br />Jennyssouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621157647829439359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-69500321162383327382014-06-27T05:24:43.113-07:002014-06-27T05:24:43.113-07:00i will miss reading your writings, but completely ...i will miss reading your writings, but completely respect your need to "sign off". i cannot imagine the feelings you're going through. be well. may you find peace and always be surrounded by love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-57771955159580619712014-06-27T03:54:42.399-07:002014-06-27T03:54:42.399-07:00Love You!
