Saturday marked one month since Jonas has been gone. One month. It feels like yesterday that I was celebrating a month of his birth and all too soon I am celebrating his death. Well celebrating is the wrong word for right now. Soon it will be celebrating. For now it is still mourning. I miss him and I'm so glad that you miss him too. I know I am biased, but ever since he has been gone I can't help but feel that he was a more than special little boy.
We did get to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with David Archuleta on Saturday night. A dear friend in my parents ward, gave us the tickets. They were some pretty amazing seats. It was a great way to "celebrate" Jonas with beautiful music. It filled your soul with love. My dad said it best, "it's hard to go to things like this and not think of Jonas". It's true and actually it's hard to do anything and not think of Jonas.
(just felt like posting an old picture of him. Doesn't seem right to not have a picture of him with a post)

Praying for peace for you guys. I know he's not far from you.
You don't know me, but your little boy has touched my life, and my family will always remember him. Thank you for sharing him with us. We continue to pray for your sweet family.
Love,
The VanderToolen's
i think about him every day.
What a lovely thought, that everything you do on this earth Jonas is still a part of.
We think of Jonas EVERYDAY. We think of YOU EVERYDAY. WE think of WHIT everyday and we think of MAGGIE EVERYDAY! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Remembering him with you!! He was such a sweet little boy and I never met him. Thinking of him and my son Kael having Chritmas in heaven with Jesus. What a sight that must be!! So much love for your family!
Just to let you know that you're all in my thoughts especially this Christmas. Soon after I read about the sad news regarding JOnas, I showed your blog to my coworkers because I wanted to share with them how handsome and beautiful your children are; all my friends agreed. May God bless your whole family with peace, strength and joy during this Christmas season and in the coming New Year.
We think of Jonas and your family everyday too. We hope you have wonderful Christmas!
p.s. If you go to you-tube and look up David Archuleta singing be still my soul it is such a beautiful song the words are very comforting. Did you know Abby's son is friends with David?
Please - whenever you want to, put all the pictures you want in your posts. **Seeing Jonas never gets old, and it never will.**
It is hard to explain how I can miss him so much when I never even got to meet him in person.
I never, ever forget that my missing is nothing at all in comparison with you and the rest of the family. There is missing - and then there is MISSING.
It did make me feel better to know that it is okay with you for us to talk about missing him. I never want to add to your pain by saying over and over how much he is on my mind.
You are not wrong: Jonas is a "more than special little boy."
The picture of him with Maggie at the top of your blog always makes my heart ache - but it is a "good" ache. Jonas, I'm so glad for your life. You really, really matter.

Hey Linds!
Thanks for posting and keeping me updated on things. I LOVE that you posted a picture of Jonas. I was just thinking the other day that I miss seeing pictures of him. Keep doing it.
Jonas is more than a special little boy, just like you said. This time of year I think about how Mary must have felt about her son, the Son of God. I think you share similar feelings with Mary. The Savior knows him well and I know He is so so proud of him, and of you and Whit. What an amazing little guy. I miss him dearly and I didn't even see him on a daily basis. Maybe that's why I love seeing pictures of him.
How I wish sometimes that time could be fast forwarded so we didn't have to wait so long. How I wish that you could see all that Jonas is doing right now. I know he will always be near to you guys. I felt that so strongly at the funeral. He will always and forever be your child, and children are never far from their parents.
My family has a donation they would like to make but I'm not sure the best to do it. Sorry - that's so lame to ask you. Is there a specific website or place we should go to?
Sure love you guys and continue to pray for you daily.
