As a mom, your story has touched deeply. Praying for you today, a hard day I'm sure, that God wraps his arms around each one of you in a supernatural way- knowing it's those same arms that hold Jack. Be assured, your boy has touched and will continue to touch many! I'm so sorry your family is living this ongoing hurt.... as life does on with its struggles and joys....eternity will be bliss, with every tear dried, reuniting with your son!

Such precious pictures. And certainly love NEVER dies. We cherish this special day with you. May memories and feeling Jack in your heart and near by comfort you. Happy Birthday to one of the most handsome boys ever! xoxo
Thinking of you, Jack, and all who loved him on this special day.
When I think about the baby boy that my husband and I lost halfway through what would turn out to be my only pregnancy, I am comforted, in part, by the words of a poem that my husband wrote to him shortly thereafter (our personal Dark Ages). Here are the last few lines: "Always remember, my son, that the love Which bore and nurtured you while you were ours Is yours to keep, a blanket for your sleep."
Anna, you and your family are always in my thoughts, especially today. Thank you for sharing your amazing son with us. In return, we'll always be here for you. Sending love.
I know how hard these milestone days can be. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know your Jack is having a wonderful Heavenly birthday, celebrating with the angels.
God bless you Anna. I said a prayer for you and your family today. I heard you speak last month and your story touched me and has given me a new appreciation of the little things in life. I was so impressed how kind and graceful you were and that you even thanked me for coming! I think of you often and will continue to keep you in my prayers.
Those little cheeks!!! So precious and most likely gobbled and kissed a bazillion times. Happy Birthday, Jack. Hugs to your family who miss you fiercely.
Thanks for these beautiful glimpses into your life. Thanks for sharing Jack...and your story. Though I'm a day late with my comment, my heart was with you yesterday...and always.
My heart breaks and swells simultaneously, dear Anna. I have been following your blog for awhile and read your precious book. You have helped me face my greatest fears, and have shown me that it is possible to survive and even thrive. You have shown me better ways to reach out to grieving friends. Thank you for sharing your pain. Thank you for your honesty, humor, and grace. Your family is near my heart and in my prayers always.

Happy Birthday, dear Jack! You made your mom and dad so happy - just look at those photos! Anna, thank you for sharing them with all of us.
Jack's smile is pure sunshine, and radiates all that is good, sacred, and beautiful.
The divine circle of love created by the four of you, with God, is eternal.
Lots of love to all of you,

Whenever my son has a birthday (he is a month before Jack's birthday), I think of you and Jack as he is the same age as Jack would be.
Love never dies and he is there in that love.
Wishing you and your family the best on this day and all those bittersweet days in between.
