J.J. and Jordan

On December 21, 2008, heaven gained its two most precious residents. Jeremiah Jefferson, born at 4:18 pm, weighed 13 ounces and was 10 inches long and Jordan Isaiah, born at 4:49 pm, weighed 1 lb 4 ounces and was 11.5 inches long. These two little boys never had to take a breath on this evil earth but went straight to their Heavenly Father who is holding them, caring for them, and loving them until Matt and I are reunited with them at the end of our lives' journeys. While we are certainly grieving our loss and our hearts are broken, we are comforted by the fact that we know where our sweet little boys are. Their hearts will never hurt and they will never have to suffer. We are grateful for the time where we held them and saw just how perfect they were with perfectly developed fingers and toes, eyelashes and toenails. They were our precious little miracles. Matt and I have appreciated your thoughts and prayers over this last five-month journey and continue to need those through the grieving process which will take much longer.
