Last Summer
This little boy was sitting on my lap experiencing his first fire. Little sister was still waiting to join the family. Instead of it being abnormally cold, it was abnormally hot. Those were some torturous nights.
I've been missing Jonas a little more this past week. I miss watching Alice in Wonderland. Of course I can watch it anytime I want, but it's not the same without him. We're doing better watching things with Maggie that Jonas watched. Or listening to things that Jonas listened to. Even singing songs that we would sing to Jonas. There are still those precious ones that I can't get past the tip of my tongue or even think of the words, because it's too tender. Getting there, but I still picture this little face and want so badly that he were here to share it with Maggie.

Jonas is so great. I think he communicates better through his eyes in those photos than I can in words. I miss Jonas, and didnt even know him, and cant imagine what it would be like to miss him as his parent, but I am so grateful that you continue to share him with us. I cant put into words how much the look in that little boys eyes, and your tender words as his parents inspire me. Thank you.
Linds,
I was looking through some pictures last night for a DVD I want to put together, and happened upon a file I created with images of Jonas and Maggs. I just started to cry. I miss him for you so much! I cannot even imagine the heartache that creeps in often for you and Whit. You are completely normal to have those times, and I think you will have them forever. What a sweetheart Jonas is.
I'm so glad that Whit has a new job. I think that would be so difficult. He has been a trooper.
I think of you often! Love you - Ash Richards
Such sweet photos and thoughts you always have to share. You are such a strong family. Lots of love to all of you!!
Really, Stew put it beautifully. That is just how I feel, too.
Jonas has the most amazing "eyes that talk."
I miss him so much!!!
Nobody misses him more than you and Whit do, that is for sure.
And I also wanted to say: it makes complete sense to me why Whit needed a change of job. There are things that add to an already heavy burden, and you don't need more of those. I am so glad you did what was right for you and your family.
With love always,

Just want you to know that I am thinking about you, about your sweet, gorgeous Jonas. It breaks my heart that he is no longer in your lap or watching Alice with you. He should be. This disease is so incredibly cruel. Sending enormous hugs to you and your special family.
Praying for you and your family!!! Also praying for Maggie. I know that God can heal her all we have to do is have Faith. He did it back then and He can do it again.
We all miss Jono so much, I don't even know how you got through Disneyworld the way you did. You guys are so amazing, missing him but still talking about him with such peace. I really really look up to you and Whit. And we all ADORE maggie-babe!
Thanks for the fun trip!! See you soon!
