I'm glad you enjoy reading our comments, 'cause sometimes I feel kind of silly with the things I type, but it DOES feel just like you are an old friend!! You know it's pretty bad when I cannot imagine not reading your blogs, and knowing what's going on with ya'll. I almost went into withdrawals that time when you stopped blogging for a while! (Does this mean I need to get a life?) Actually, I think it's because you've made us all love ya'll so much by being such a precious, fun, loving family! So thankful for you, and your willingness to share with us--see that sounds like a weirdo I guess:)Theresa Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319484910825204949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-24124137533537422482010-10-06T10:43:20.278-05:002010-10-06T10:43:20.278-05:00Thinking of your family and sweet Jake!

I to talk about my "friend" in West Monroe as if we have met and are totally buds. I love your blog and read it every morning. I remember Jake everytime I see the #11 or eat M&M's. When we decorated for Halloween last weekend I even thought of Jake. He was a spirited little boy and I miss him. (sounds even more silly because I never met him) However, through your writing on his caringbridge site I got to know him. I was able to pray for a little boy who was truly loved and was a blessing to all who came to know him. I'm sorry you are hurting Melanie! I can't imagine. I am sending hugs from Missouri. <br /><br />God bless,<br />ShariSharidrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866493178682309018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-33128319854415280072010-10-06T07:31:00.844-05:002010-10-06T07:31:00.844-05:00Just wanted you to know that I was thinking about ...Just wanted you to know that I was thinking about Jake today.

Your blog is the first thing I look at when I get to work also. It always starts my day with a smile. I 'met' you through Jake's CB site and I think about Jake EVERY TIME I hit Mo'Joy on my blog list. I think you're amazing and if I didn't live so far away I'd love to come to one of your retreats. I would love to just give you a hug.

I lost my brother at the age of 40 in Jan. 06 of leukemia.What a shock that was. I found out about Jake through Allen Smith's CB site. Your family has helped me get through so much without even really knowing you, because I was so thankful I had my brother for 40 yrs, when these sweet children were facing these horrible illnesses. So thank you for allowing me to be a part of your daily comings and goings. So I am remembering Jake today also and may you be blessed today and everyday. Your girls make me laugh all of the time. Thank you for sharing ur blessings with us!KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998789037707442244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292605187112994711.post-72079569269514784772010-10-05T20:20:38.247-05:002010-10-05T20:20:38.247-05:00I only met you one time, but feel like I know you ...I only met you one time, but feel like I know you so I don't think its odd.

Saying a prayer of thanks for a precious 4-year-old who taught so many how to love big and live big... and for all the blessings in my life. What a huge blessing it is that his legacy lives on through the JOR and your blog and continues to touch people everywhere. <br /><br />Can't wait to see more pics of the BAH once you get a little more settled in. Ohhhhh, Christmas will be so fun for y'all this year in the BAH and the girlies are at such fun ages for Santa and all that good stuff.
