This is a simple and quick note to acknowledge the second anniversary of the passing of our little man, Jacob. As I reflect on his 44 days with us and particularly that last grueling evening following his surgery, I approach a crossroads.
On the one hand, I can choose to wallow in the grief that is sometimes overwhelming, pondering the loss and all that could have been.
On the other hand, I can choose to relish what *is* – what has become of us having gone through this experience. In this way I can ponder Jacob’s life with Christ, free from all ailments, and I can consider the ways in which our Lord has worked in our lives and in the lives of others through us.
I choose Life. Every. Time.
Jacobs Ripples 
Well said and that you are doing! Carry on in the name of the Lord!

Amen! I cannot fathom the immense grief all of you have endured. But, I praise God for His mercy and grace in your lives, and His promises to all of us through Jacob’s life, here and eternally, and through yours, Rob, Deb, and Addison. Love and hugs to you all!
