Re: Asking for Prayers

Thanks everyone - your prayers and support are really wonderful.

We just got home from the hospital. Luckily everything went smoothly. Shannon delivered our little girl, and we had a nice chance to spend some quiet time holding her before we had to say goodbye.

Now we're going to spend some quality time with our girls at home and try to get back into a routine.

Re: Asking for Prayers

My heart absolutely sank when I read that.  So terribly sorry to hear that.

At the same time so thankful, as you said, things went smoothly.  That you have a wonderful wife and your other children is also something to be so thankful for.

Re: Asking for Prayers

Hi Jack, New on so you don't know me but felt i should say something. No family should experience the loss of a child, probably more heartbreaking than losing a parent. My parent lost their son (my older brother) when he was eight in a drowning accident. i remember how heartbroken they were and is only one of the few times i saw my parents cry. I'm sure she will always be in your hearts and minds and her sisters will know her through you and your wife. good luck for the future

Re: Asking for Prayers

Hey all
Just wanted to thank you all again for your prayers and support through my family's difficult time. A little time has gone by, and we just had a private burial yesterday.

As many of you can relate to, music is one of my ways of coping. I wrote and performed a little instrumental for our girls and shared it today now that they're buried.

I had a pretty serious internal debate as whether or not to share this, but seeing as how many people knew what was going on and were supportive, I thought it appropriate for family, friends, and those of us connected by a deep love of this type of music.

I hope you've all been well. And know that those of you who have shared your own stories of hardship, I thought of you through this whole process.

Cheers
Jack
