It's been on my blog list for just a few days, but people are already asking, so I thought I'd explain. Earlier this week, I added a blog to my page. Keeping Up With the Joneses. Last week, I was searching for some info on North Carolina for Jarrod, and somehow stumbled across this blog. I started reading, just because I love blogging and love reading other people's stories. Well, little did I know how sad it would be and how I wouldn't be able to stop. Believe me, if you don't want to cry, don't read it! Ayden was just 4 months old when he lost his life, and I think the reason I couldn't stop reading was that it reminded me so much of Gavin. He, too, was born at the end of April, but a year after Gavin. His mom is a teacher. Ayden learned to roll over right around the time he turned 4 months, just like Gavin. When I read it, I find it unbelievable how strong his parents must be. I don't know her, but I feel such compassion for her. It makes me realize how precious Gavin is. It puts things into perspective. I thought leaving my family and moving to a new state would be the worst thing ever. I thought leaving my friends would be the worst thing ever. I thought quitting my teaching job that I loved would be the worst thing ever. Nope...I was wrong. The Jones family has experienced the worst thing ever. Not me.
