Let's Try This

Well up until now I have used the carepages website to update on our family and happenings. I started the care page when I had Ethin to keep people up to date on what was going on, but there are so many changes with it that I am finding it hard to include the things I want including pictures.
For those that are new to following our family I am Jessica and I have four amazing children. Jessa, Jonathin, and Jayde (Commonly called The J Triplets) all here and mostly heart healthy. Jessa has a murmur but otherwise heart healthy. Then on January 9, 2009 I had Ethin and he was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome commonly known as HLHS. Ethin fought the most courageous battle ever and won HIS fight on June 27, 2009 when he was called to his Heavenly home.
Once Ethin was gone I continued to update our readers on our family and do things to honor his life. I did this also in hopes that people would find us and in some way I could offer hope to them and whatever they may be going through. I also found a sense of relief in continuing to write to the many readers on our page as they were and are a source of strength for me as well. I hope that however this goes that you will read and see the difference that a Heart Warrior made to this world.
Know in following and reading with my family now that not all posts are happy everything is great nor are they full of gloom and despair. The loss of my son has changed everything and every part of who I am or will ever be. Ethin gave me a lot of purpose while he was here and now that he is gone things have changed, but I still have a purpose from him and that is to keep him living in everyone around us!
So here we are blog world.....Blogging....Remembering and honoring Ethin the best way I can. Allowing you all to look into my heart and my life with the The J Triplets as we go on in this life until we are all together with Ethin again!
