It was six years ago that I delivered a beautiful baby boy that was immediately swept from my arms.
It was six years ago today that Jonah was transported to a different hospital one hour away from me.
It was six years ago today that Mike called and said, "He may not make it."
It was six years ago today that I felt a peace that passes all my understanding, and I rested in the fact that "heaven may hold [him] before I do."
It was six years ago today that I really understood the importance of a community of friends & family.
It was six years ago today that I saw the power of prayer as my little boy began to heal.
It was six years ago that, in the midst of chaos, I was unable to really celebrate Jonah's birth.
And so I celebrate him today!!!!!!!!
My army boy.
He had his first "friend party" on Saturday.

Love it. I see it now....the photo of all the boys is what they are going to use someday when those boys are all turning 30, or getting married, or whatever big event....it will be the best 'remember when' photo!!! love to see these boys building such lifetime friends at such at young age. what a gift you all have there in Upland.
These photos are great! I love the one of Jonah and Lydia saluting...I like that Lydia is doing a nice Madonna-esque "strike a pose" with a little bit of a Lydia tongue twist.
And I love the picture of Jonah unwrapping presents - what a look of pure joy and excitement! It was so fun to talk with him for a few mintes yesterday. Wish we could see you soon!
Love the picture of Jonah and Lydia! She looks hilarious!
Six years - definitely a landmark! He's a little (big) miracle!
Oh, Honey,
What a genius you are. Everything was just beautiful. What a fun time all of the "Army Recruits" must have had.
It is hard for me to believe that six years have passed.
He is adorable and I love him very much.
Love, Grandma.
How PERFECT!!! You are the best. . . so glad you are my friend! :) God gave Jonah the best mommy ever!
