We will miss him. We will all miss Jack so very very much. He touched everyone he ever met and will continue to affect people who will never get the chance to meet him. His mother and I have a hole in our hearts the size of his personality, and for anyone who ever met him, they know that is an unfathomably large hole. We will remember him every day as a perfect child. He brought joy and light to everyone. He comforted you when you were sad and laughed with you when you were happy. He adored his family and just wanted to play and smile and be with us. He would run to get Adam for dinner, sit by Liam and share toys, steal Katieâ??s food when she wasnâ??t looking, follow Samantha around and call her mommy, and take every chance he could to kiss Owen on the top of his head. He loved so strongly and was loved just as much. The impact he had on our lives on the short time he was alive will never truly be understood. He changed us all on a very deep level. So now we have to find a way to honor him and cherish his memory as we live out a life that should have included him. I lost my son. I will never get to see him grow up into the amazing man he was going to be. I may eventually be able to get through a day without crying, but I will never go a day without hurting that my baby is gone. I can only take some peace in knowing that he lived a wonderful life for the short time he was with us. And he knew that he was loved beyond measure. Elizabeth and I would sing a song to our children to put them to sleep. One verse in particular hits me hard right now. â??Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark and deep inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of meâ?I love you, Jack. Daddy loves you so very much
