You both have touched countless people over the last year. Jacob has become the part of so many BLM's stories. I imagine Jacob has lots of friends in Heaven! I thought what Ted said about the jumping photo was very cute! I can just see an embarrassed little boy talking to his friends about his mom and dad. :-) I am so glad Jacob sent you a sign on his special day. He knows how much his mommy and daddy love and miss him <3 <3 <3Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601800346553703806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-4874041984282909432011-06-05T10:29:07.894-05:002011-06-05T10:29:07.894-05:00Love to you and your family Dana.Love to you and your family Dana.carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393089450621191821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-62757486153359914662011-06-03T22:12:11.365-05:002011-06-03T22:12:11.365-05:00You made it.

I am just curious how you get there and then continue on. <br /><br />Jacob is one lucky kid to have such a wonderful family.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing such intimate details with us Dana, more than anything these are the mosts I need to read sometimes. <br /><br />I am thinking we too will donate a memory box in Xavier's name to the hospital he was born at. Maybe you can email me what you put in your box? <br /><br />Lots of love to you and your husband, we are thinking of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-38651719727956254752011-06-03T19:59:55.509-05:002011-06-03T19:59:55.509-05:00Happy birthday Jacob.

Despite the circumstances you guys look like you were actually having fun.<br /><br />When I was in the hospital a few weeks ago, there was that damn sign about 'never leave your baby alone' and there was an added reminder not to give your baby to anyone who wasn't wearing a hospital ID badge and special pin. I felt like screaming everytime I saw it. It seemed like such a stupid sign (and a HUGE SAD REMINDER!!!) to have in the ANTENATAL ward. Although I guess the rooms are sometimes used for moms who have delivered. Still, it felt like a slap in the face.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587287197734518952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-32543090415560599852011-06-03T06:23:12.614-05:002011-06-03T06:23:12.614-05:00I'm always thinking of you, Ted and Jacob.

I love what you did that day - not only honoring him but celebrating him too.<br /><br />The box, Dana. I just wept when I saw it and all of the wonderful things you included in it. I wish that no one would ever need such a box... but it will be SUCH a blessing if someone finds the "unthinkable" has happened to them.<br /><br />I absolutely adore the jumping picture - that one deserves to be printed and framed in your home. <br /><br />I wish there was something I could do. I wish there was something I could say. I know I probably bring up sad feelings when I comment... but please know that I remember. I remember, Dana. I remember, vividly, the pain and the feelings of hopelessness.<br /><br />I think of you daily, and I'm praying all the time for the storm to break. <br /><br />Sending big hugs to you, and to Jacob...Violet1122https://www.blogger.com/profile/05470143683967710014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-23397743617910555722011-06-02T21:27:23.663-05:002011-06-02T21:27:23.663-05:00Dana, You are an amazing woman.

What a wonderful gift. <br /><br />I have to tell you something, you know on FB I said I lit a candle on the 31st and the 1st, and on the 1st right after I lit it (about 5 minutes later) all THREE wicks were out. I have no idea why, but I relit it again and it stayed lit. When I read about yours I had goosebumps all over. <br /><br />I also LOVE the jumping picture and Ted is SO right---he was definitely laughing and smiling at his parents then :) HUGS!!!Betsy Wellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884321986039520326noreply@blogger.com
