Jack

I just tried writing a whole big blog entry on this but I really can't even find the words to say what I want so I'll make it short and sweet.


In January of this year, I found my way to this blog, Multiple Baby Pileup , and it has really has changed my life. It was here that I was introduced to an amazing mom and dad, two beautiful girls Charlotte and Katie...and a brave little guy named Jack. Charlotte, Kate and Jack are triplets (how cool is that?!?!). The girls are so cute and funny! Each has a personality all their own and it's been so great watching them get bigger and bigger.


Charlotte and Katie are very special in that they have an angel watching over them....their brother Jack. On January 2nd, 2008 Jack passed away from complications of Mobius Syndrome- he was just short of 3 months old. The strength that their mom and dad have shown over the last 11 months has blown me away. There have been days where I would sit at my computer and sob over what I was reading and how destroyed mom and dad must be feeling. I began to miss Jack, a little boy that I had never even met. Just reading their story and learning about Jack and his sisters has brought me close to them somehow. I think of Jack often, and I look forward to every post on the blog.


So now to the reason for this blog entry-

A couple people have organized toy drives in Jack's memory- this one has been made super easy for you. All the toys are being donated to the Children's Hospital of New Jersey so that some little child will have a gift to open on Christmas, and so that they know Santa thinks they are special too. Please take a minute to send a toy if you can. I know Jack would love it! And if you have some time please read some more about these three little babies. You might just learn something about yourself through them.
