Jason Simon 11-12-86 to 08-12-01


We lost our precious Jason just 4 years and two weeks after we lost Malachi. His lost was painful but very different. You see, Jason's life was a total miracle. There was really no earthly reason for him to live. He was given three years at most, but Jason proved all the medical doctors wrong. We were told he would pass away in his sleep, but after loosing one child, I knew Jason would not go that way.

Funny, God has a perfect plan and that is just the way Jason went. He had suffered his entire life, but his death was pain free.

Again, thank you for letting us share his poem. I wrote it after he passed away and I read it at his funeral. Again I believe that God gave me these words so that we could find peace that was beyond understanding. This is our small yet meaningful way of remembering his time here on earth with us.

Love to all,
Roberta and Merrill


Jason,Oh Sweet Jason We didn't see you fly by late that night.
You waited till we were all sleeping and you took your eternal flight.

I am sure you climbed higher and faster than riding and eagles wing.
I bet you were laughing and giggling and even started to sing.

Faster and faster, higher and higher your legs running at full speed.
No one was pushing your wheelchair, not a single aide did you need.

Heavens gates were already open. They were waiting for you to come through. You had waited over 14 years for that miracle, your body to be better than new.

As your Mother I stand in amazement, I beam with extreme pride. Why on earth did God chose to bless me with you as an angel by my side?

The earthly road you had to travel was filled with sickness and pain. Yet each day you faced with such valor as you waited for Heavenly gain.

I always knew if you could have walked and talked you would have been a mischievous boy. Then became quite obvious when the sound of a baby crying brought you such great joy.

You loved all the things like hiking, biking, swimming, camping and a roller coaster jerk. Jason, you never fooled me, it was because we did all the work!!!!

Your beautiful face and your snort filled laugh in my heart shall always be, Because in all of our years together my son, you became a part of me.

How I ache that you are no longer with us, what I would give to hold you once more. But I shall hold back my pain knowing your freedom as you rushed to Heavens door.

Jason Oh Sweet Jason, we didn't see you fly by late that night.
You waited till we were all sleeping then you took your eternal flight.

Love, Mom. written August 14, 2001

You've endured so much in your life. But even through the sorrow, you've found the joy. God has truly blessed you with the gift of these children and He has blessed them with the gift of you as their mom. Love you much always, Tammy

TOTALLY AMAZING NEWS

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe... First Lady Laura Bush..so.. you are nominated per us at SAFF... tell your children.. put it on your blog..to us the Merrill Simon Family is the OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FA...

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

MALACHI ISAIAH-JACOB SIMON

Malachi Isaiah-Jacob Simon October 22, 1990 to July 29, 1997 Today it has been ten years since Malachi passed away. Who would have thought that life would continue to go on...not me. I thought it would end that very day or soon there after. No parent should ever have to loose a child so young, but they do, every day. It is hard and your heart aches so much so you know it will break and never heal....but it does. Somehow life goes on and with each day that passes you get a little stronger and your become a better person because of the one that you loved so very much. Malachi taught us so very much and he gave us the courage to become the parents that we are. It was Malachi that taught us we could do what we thought to be the impossible. He showed us that we could love what society says was the unlovable. He showed us that if you just laugh and take life at a much slower pace you could actually have fun with it all. He taught us that tires really do not taste all that bad. :o) Malachi sh...
