As difficult as it has been to say good bye to Alissa, we are still being strong for Landon. Last night we went back to see him and deal with our emotions of seeing him without his sister. This morning we went back and I was able to hold him for about an hour. I can’t begin to describe the emotional roller coaster we are going through, but I can say I can’t imagine what it would be like if we didn’t have Landon to keep us hopeful.
“Dad Holding Landon”
“Landon’s Eyes”
And yes he did pull on my chest hair!
What a beautiful baby. I am sure he can feel everyone\’s love!
Jay,
You and Sarah are so strong. Thank you again for sharing more of Landon with us. He looks remarkable – just like his Daddy.
Love, Becca
I\’m glad he pulled on your chest hair, you can stand to loose a little bit. Just kidding
xoxo Love, Katie
Dude, he must think he belongs to the Gorilla family, then again maybe he does. I wonder if his first word will be \”Itchy\”?
He is just DARLING! No Jay, we mean Landon!! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! We continue to pray for all of you, you are all remarkable!! Love Jim and Jo
You are a \’Rock\’ Jay. I admire you,– with your heart still breaking for your little daughter, you make jokes for your wife and son and the extended family! Landon must be very proud of you, although he looks a little worried there. Talk to him about soccer and basket ball and what you\’ll do together… that\’ll cheer him, and you. My thoughts are with you … love omiGG
What a beautiful site to see Dad and his son. You look so proud. Love, Pam
Jay:
Yikes! I won\’t complain about my leg hair ever again! Seriously, Landon is so darling – I\’m so happy you guys get to hold him now –
Love, Auntie Joni
Before you know it, Landon will be running up to you, stroking your arm, and saying, \”Fur?\” just like Zach does to Poppy. Little do they know they will soon be the next hairy Jellin generation. He is so sweet.
