As you know, if you are reading this, I haven’t had many posts lately. There has been a lot that has gone on but I haven’t really wanted to write about it. There are so many things that are just crazy lately. The babies are all doing really well and they are growing. They all walk and so I have no excuse for not doing a Quint Olympics walking race with them except that I am tired. I am actually thinking that things are going to get harder in some respects because they are all getting smarter. However, the little things that we have been dealing with are truly minor in comparison with the stuff going on with some others that I know. We found out a few weeks ago that my uncle Kirk has cancer. My uncle Kirk is one of the uncles that I know the best. We all have a lot of hope for him and he is one more person that we are adding in to our prayers. He has always been one that is quick to laugh so I am hoping that he can use that sense of humor to make it through this.
Something that happened a few weeks ago was that I attended a funeral for the baby of one of my coworkers. I have never been to a funeral for a baby before but it was hard. It really made me feel extremely grateful for the health of my own little ones. It was the first time I had ever attended a Catholic funeral as well and I was glad I went. Overall, I felt a spirit of optimism during the funeral. I had a strong feeling the whole time that the parents would get a chance to see their daughter again and that she was not gone but merely waiting for them. This was comforting to me and I really wish I could have transferred my assurance to them as I watched them grieve but I knew I couldn’t. I also think that even knowing that you will see the baby again doesn’t fully relieve the pain and I hear that it is something that never really leaves you. However, it is very comforting to know that there is a God and that in the end, we can put our trust in him and know that things will turn out well.

We all to face the hardest of things in this life. I truly believe that Kirk is going to lick this cancer, my heart goes out to parents who loose a child and I as most parents. pray I never have to face that.
I'm sorry for your uncle and everything you have/are going through.
You have a great attitude, Jayson. You will get through these tons of todlers years a-ok. The only thing constant is change!
Thank you so much for your expressions of faith and hope. We all have opportunities to lift and bless others within our sphere of influence, and all of us who read your blog know that you understand and practice that principle.
Life is like a roller coaster ride full of thrills and dips and even with the sorrows and trials it remains the most glorious ride. I believe in miracles, in fact I count on them.
I sorrow for your friends, losing a child is one of life's most difficult tests. I have no doubt at all that they will be reunited with their child again.
The Force is with Kirk, he's fighting hard and now we place our trust in the Lord.
