Monday of Thanksgiving week, we didn't know if Stephen was having a rally or a comeback. In our hearts, we knew that it wasn't a comeback, but we never gave up hope. Hospice of South Texas had been taking of us for over a year, but that week, forces were gathered with one goal in mind: Fight the pain and let Stephen go. He didn't want to leave (No four year old is ready to leave love.) I do understand in a different capacity, because Stephen is my baby's baby. You're a mom and your heart is breaking. I wish that we could make all this pain go away, but it's like waves of darkness. Hold on tight to those who love you and know that your heart will keep Jack forever. (Words fail me, and I hope that I've not made your pain worse.) Warmly, Bonnie, forever Stephen's Nana.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-31574005462323325032013-12-17T07:42:09.044-07:002013-12-17T07:42:09.044-07:00Know that love and prayers for you Ann, for Jack a...Know that love and prayers for you Ann, for Jack and for the whole family are being sent.<br />Keeping you all in my heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098163348172923483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-87779417231281283082013-12-17T04:49:08.177-07:002013-12-17T04:49:08.177-07:00No word's just continued prayers for u both!No word's just continued prayers for u both!danahttp://www.laneahslife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-11719232625882070212013-12-16T21:28:31.723-07:002013-12-16T21:28:31.723-07:00My Dear Sister,,, Thank you for teaching us streng...My Dear Sister,,, Thank you for teaching us strenghth!

And the uncertainty just leaves your mind spinning through all the scenarios of when and how it will happen. And none of those scenarios are positive. The biggest prayers we can say now are for peace for Jack, and an ideal situation where he is surrounded by those who love him when the time comes. We all feel so connected. My heart aches for the pain you feel. Love you always friend!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961062780068712820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-72940742763047992082013-12-16T15:05:26.543-07:002013-12-16T15:05:26.543-07:00Oh Ann. I hate that it has to be this way for you,...Oh Ann. I hate that it has to be this way for you, Jack and the rest of your family. Heart failure is no joke, and it's torture for parents to watch their kids go through it. So. Not. Right. But, I love what your doc said, that Jack will be okay no matter what. That's something I'm going to hold on to - for Jack, you and for Harlie and myself. <br /><br />And I second what Susan said, Jack has been well loved and has affected many other people in a very positive way. Not everyone can say that. Big hugs to you all. <br /><br />Love you!<br />Christy xoChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158503749591171395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29916680.post-71553133272917573652013-12-16T09:41:58.787-07:002013-12-16T09:41:58.787-07:00Oh Ann, I think it should be a rule that every par...Oh Ann, I think it should be a rule that every parent outlive their children. I'm sure it is so difficult to leave Jack's side with this uncertainty. You must though. Try to have faith that it will work out the way it is meant to. Though Jack's time on earth may not be as long as we would like, he has been well loved, affected many people in a positive way, and will be missed when it is his time to go. That's really what we all want. XOXO. You've been in my thoughts a lot. Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092188894818322564noreply@blogger.com
