Flashbacks

I am having flashback to what jack went through in BOston. How he would look at me when they were doing procedures.

Today Will turned 3

I remember when jack turned 3. In fact, he was never anything but 3 to us, having spent his 4th birthday in the hospital.

I look at Will now and he reminds me so much of Jack. He is about the same size and talks and plays alot like Jack. The coming year will be hard because I will be reminded of Jack and all he never accomplished. He was never 4. Forever 3.

Will is a delight and a blessing to Sam and I. He continues to be. He was so sweet tonight at his birhtday. You could just likce the skin right off of him. He was so excited and thrilled with everything he got for his birthday.

I remember Jack's 3rd birhtday. It was the last "party" I got to give him. I was so stressed out, so wanting it to be perfect. I remember the funniest thing, we had a cooler in the kitchen full of drinks, on the top was a couple of drink holders. Jack thought it was the perfect spot for his cupcake.

Sweet sweet boy who deserved better than what he got in life.
