Hopefully as people leave their comments regarding Jacob's impact on their lives you will come to know his purpose in being and why you were priviliged to become his parents. His plans are for you to prosper, I know you can't imagine that right now. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and I abandonded God for a week, but after I got biopsy results I learned that my baby saved my life. It turns out I had early stage cancer that never would have been found had I not lost that baby.There was the purpose in that terrible pain. I am continuing to pray for you and your precious family<BR/>CherylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200054123343855249.post-87780717034524750052008-06-03T01:08:00.000-04:002008-06-03T01:08:00.000-04:00Keep the Faith...I don't even know you guys, but I am praying for you and your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200054123343855249.post-39197191217092084082008-06-02T23:23:00.000-04:002008-06-02T23:23:00.000-04:00I just found your family through another blog.

I wish I could hug you - I wish I knew you in person and was there. All of my love and thoughts and prayers to you right now.

You guys, along with other families I've met along the way loving babies with Trisomy 18 have taught me the total preciousness of life. I'd always been what I thought was pro-life before. But I always had exceptions. And then I met Jacob, and that all changed. Suddenly I saw just how much God really is the author of life, and how He is the only One with the right to make any calls. So over the months I watched you guys love and care for Jacob, protecting him and fighting for him, and it taught me that we are called to do that for the ones God entrusts to our care. <BR/><BR/>Your tiny baby Jacob and your witness as his parents has changed the heart of a girl over 4,000 miles away. Thank you for that. I am glad we belong to the same Jesus, because I sure will be excited to meet you all on the other side of eternity.<BR/><BR/>May the God of all comfort walk with you constantly during your grief, and may He cling to you when you don't have the strength to cling to Him. May you know His presence in very real ways in the coming days and months. That is my prayer for you.<BR/><BR/>Sara in CanadaInklinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200054123343855249.post-20304728735755220602008-06-02T12:28:00.000-04:002008-06-02T12:28:00.000-04:00I was gone over the weekend and wasn't able to read your blog. I am saddened to read that Jacob passed away. My heart is heavy for you and your family. You will be in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>I know I've told you this before (in comments), but Jacob was honestly one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. His big eyes were so expressive. His lips looked positively kissable.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I want you to know that I have grown so much from reading your blog. Your family is a wonderful testament. Your faith and belief in the Lord our God is astounding. Thank you and thanks to Jacob for helping change my life for the better :)<BR/><BR/>Love -JennyZac and Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13862512141776453903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200054123343855249.post-41026443057878371562008-06-02T12:03:00.000-04:002008-06-02T12:03:00.000-04:00Yeah.

I ask you to guide Jason as he leads his family through this valley of the shadow of death, give him wisdom, strength for each moment, and most of all your love as a Father who knows his pain. Guide and protect Jason's heart as he leads his family as he grieves his own loss. Help him Lord with your grace and be his soft place to fall. Let nothing come between him and Karen except you. Carry him Lord in your loving arms. Thank you for allowing him to be the one to give Jacob up to you, taking the burden for Karen. Such love at a time when the pain sucks so bad. Your plan is perfect and we will trust you no matter how hard it may be. Jacob had so much weight in this world and I pray you use it for eternity.<BR/><BR/>Laurie in Ca.Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.com
