Happy 5th Birthday Jack Joo

Oh how I miss those blue eyes...

Today would have been Jack's 5th Birthday...
So, here we are...putting flowers on his grave. 
We get balloons...
write little messages to him...
and send them off to Heaven for Jack.
And there they go...
It's always a hard day.
We miss him so much.

I could never get enough of those big blue eyes.  Or those chubby Jeffrey Holland jowls of his.  He was the sweetest, most loving baby I've ever seen.  And he loved me...he truly loved me.  I know he loved his daddy too.  I remember Coby leaving for work the morning of the accident.  Jack ran to the door after it closed and cried and pounded on the door because his daddy was gone.  I often wonder if he knew it was the last time he'd see his daddy on this Earth.  I breaks my heart each time I see Jaden running after Coby and crying because Coby's had to leave for work.  I know he's busy.  He tells me that he's doing "a great work".  It's still hard every single day to wake up to the reality that has become our life.  Our heart long and our arms ache to hold him again.  Someday that will be a reality, but for now, I have my memories, my Coby, Corb, Jaden and baby #4, family and good friends to hold me over until that day comes.  So, Happy Birthday Jackie Joo!  We miss you!  

PS...Thanks to all those who continue to remember each year.  You kindness never goes unnoticed. We are very blessed to have you in our lives.

Jack, please let your mom have a sneak peak at you one of these days so she can tell me if you still have a chubby face! Happy Belated birthday, cute boy!
