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.
Jack's new nurse did fine today ... Jack was alive and happy when I arrived home! I'm a little more "alive" today as well. Thank God it's Friday ... Saturday is my day to sleep in. Have a GRAND weekend everyone!

Love it! Glad you had a good day with your new nurse! Have a great weekend Schrooten family!
Love Jack's bed; Love Jack, hanging out with his little brother! It's plainly obvious that not only does Jack know what's going on around him, but he's also got a good sense of humor about the whole thing!
That bed's big enough for the whole family to have a Sunday Snooze, and PERFECT for that lazy read a book, watch videos kind of day! Fab!
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.
