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.
We arrived safely in Amarillo and made good time. With the time change, it's two hours later than it should be, which means that tomorrow morning comes two hours earlier than it should. Mark and Eric are asleep. Jack and I are wide awake!

Thanks so much for checking in.

Glad you arrived safely. Hope everything goes well xxx
Happy things are going "onward." I wonder what is going through Jack's mind...it look like he's having fun...? Being his 6th time, I wonder if he's thinking..."here we go again." I am sure it is very draining for him...but also a little exciting? The exciting part ends tomorrow, huh? I hope they don't poke him too much. Praying for you all, Jen
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.
