He Takes My Heart With Him

Home and Well

My dear friends,

Over the past several months, I have been writing my youngest son's story. Sweet Jack, who was a surprise blessing to our family, and is the apple of all of our eyes. He has taught us so much about joy, prayer, and faith. It is hard to believe all the highs and lows we have experienced over this past year. We thank God every minute for this little boy He has graced us with.

Jack is now home and well, and completing a course of oral antibiotics. We are looking forward to a restful and wonderful winter, simply enjoying our family. Accepting each day as a blessing, just to be together. I look forward to the day when Jack is grown and can read his story. I imagine him, tall and handsome, his grin still melting my heart as easily as it does now, learning about his first year of life, and how we loved him.

I want to thank you. For reading Jack's story. For encouraging words when we were having dark days. For caring about this little boy that we love. Writing about this year has helped me through days that I thought would never end and brought me a peace through this gift of writing that God has given me. Please know that your prayers have been felt and your kindness has been heartwarming. We pray that God blesses you in your lives as He has blessed Jack's and ours.

God bless you.
