Jack is FOUR!

By Caitlin Connolly

Today, we're celebrating the life of my sweet little boy. Last night, I found myself in the same exact position I found myself in last year, and the year before that and the year before that (and also the night before David's birthday) - kneeling next to my baby's bed in a hot sobbing mess :) As I knelt next to his bed, I tried to remember every last detail of my three-year-old boy. I kissed his head and his nose and cheeks and fingers. I noticed his peach fuzz on his face and listened to his sweet deep breathing. I whispered my love and praised God for Jack's four years on earth that have brought me such fierce, unconditional, and overwhelming love and joy.
