Precious

Some of the most precious moments of the day happen when Noah is curled up on me. He buries his head into my chest and cuddles so tenderly. He looks at me with such amazing love and devotion. That feeling is reflected right back at him. A Mama's love is tremendous!

This is my very favorite position that they can be in. It is so trusting and vulnerable on their part. It just feels like they feel safe. I love being the one to make Jonah feel that way.

I couldn't agree with you more. A mommy and her baby's heart are truly connected. It doesn't seem to change even as they get older...they just get bigger. Thanks for sharing.

Such a sweet picture! Glad to see you are having a relaxing summer and getting that precious time with Noah. Emily has commented several times that she misses "Mrs. Jackson," but I assure her school will start soon enough so she can come say hi! Staci Schalk

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
