Beautiful picture of Gordon. I would say it is "timeless", but the opposite is true. It is totally restricted in time, as are these measurements and information- yet Gordon is so much bigger in our hearts and thinking, greater to us than numbers. I know this is the source of your pain and ours- to know him as he is, instead of the hollow of the numbers. We cherish the picture, the information, all we have to grasp hold of him, even while he runs free of the constraints that keep us from him- time and place.
Thanks again and again for sharing Jennifer your inner most thoughts and feelings for Gordon. This is all healing for you and your families. What a precious little boy he is.
We love you! Sharon
Thinking of you and John today!
love & prayers, Sharon
A beautiful picture of a beautiful baby. I hurt for you and wish you could know your son as more than just numbers that will never change, but as a boy who will grow and constantly change. May faith and time heal your pain, and bring about change in their own right in your lives. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. And as always, Harrison says to me every once in a while, "tell me about Baby Gordon again". He too does not want to forget. I showed him the pictures of Gordon on your blog to help him understand, and he closed his eyes and started to cry. He is so sensitive and loves Gordon too, and told me he was sad for Gordon's Mommy and Daddy. You are never alone as long as you have Harrison praying for you.
Beautiful picture. I think of you everyday!
Oops, that was from me,

As these words resinate within me they remind me of the words of an old song and bring renewed meaning to them.

Loving you Always. Mom.
