His Name, Jonah. He is gone now. His life cut short due to many issues. His parents, profoundly sad that he was taken way too soon. Who did he touched? Way to many people to even count. I met Jonah through the Trach Board. It is a message board for parents of children that have tracheostomys. Actually just about anyone can join, but there is common bound and that is the trach. I fell in love with Jonah the second I saw him. I wrote to his mom to ask her questions. She was gracious enough to answer them for me. Jonah had a full life for a medically fragile little boy. He did many things and one of the really big things was he got to go to Disney World. I loved looking at all of his pictures. Each time I checked in on the message board, I looked to see if his mom had posted. I loved reading about his days and what he was up to. He was just a wonderful boy. I can't even tell you how fast my heart sank into my lap the day I read that he had passed away. It is a post that we get to read
Merrill and I thought we would teach our children about the world, instead we are teaching the world about our children.
