Hope everyone had a good weekend:)
And hopefully took some time to honor the great men in your life!
I wanted to make the day special for Jon.
Because he's such a special Dad.
Because he's such a special Dad.
He's been so strong through out this whole experience.
He's always so good at solving things, and when the specialists told us our son would most likely not make it I know it was hard on him not being able to fix any of it.
Maybe it's because he wants to go into the medical field, but he nails it when it comes to taking care of me.
From day 1 of my pregnancy and even now, I get these questions all the time,
"Have you taken your prenatal's today?"
"You're kidding me right? A granola bar for lunch? Are you insane?"
"Madds are you drinking enough? How much water have you had today?"
"You should probably eat more protein, your body needs it."
"K are you sure you're not running too much? You should take a break."
He's cute when he's concerned.
Anyway, even in the 5 days that Jon Gabriel was alive, he was such a good dad.
I got this for him, from Jon Gabriel.
I love the little hand print ♥
I ordered it only like 8 days before Fathers Day (oops), and the Lady who makes them was backed up until the END of July!
I didn't know that until after I ordered.
So I messaged her and told her I would have to cancel because I needed it by June 16th.
She messaged me back saying: "When I heard your story, I decided to go ahead and make yours so you could give it to your husband on Father's Day."
I wanted to cry when I read that.
Seriously LOVE her.
And I don't even know her.

He loved it.
I was so glad!
Reading over my journal, I was reminded of this moment..
Reading over my journal, I was reminded of this moment..
It was just Jon, Jon Gabriel, and I in a small room at Primary children's.
We had been in that room for close to 12 hours.
A few hours before we had to let him go, Jon was holding him and talking to him.
I was eating a sandwich because I hadn't eaten anything since that morning, and I listened to what he was saying to Jon Gabriel.
He said so many sweet things to him.
Too sweet to record here.
But this little part he said tells you a little bit about my husband.

"Girls are crazy, Jon Boy. Especially your Mom, she's the craziest one of all. When you were in her stomach and you'd make her throw up or you'd give her sciatic nerve pain, she still loved you so much. I didn't know if she'd be able to keep it up until your due date, but I knew she would have done it time and time again, for you. She's a pretty special lady. And that's one thing you gotta know about our job here, we always make sure mom is taken care of. I know you'll always do that."
I'm so grateful for him.

I love my Jon boys.
