Because...
Tomorrow Jarrod will be 12 years old!
It shocks me to realize that so much time has passed since that late night when Jarrod became a part of our lives. After a really long day of labor Jarrod was born at 2:59 a.m.
He was so cute!
He has since grown into a fine caring young man who is always ready to help anyone with no thought of reward.
Since last November he has helped us care for Joshua and has been his friend and protector. Words cannot express how proud we are of our "little" boy who now wears the same shoe size as me! We are lucky to have him. Jarrod gets pushed into the background a lot because of Joshua and his cancer. It is hard to maintain the balance between children when one of them is so very sick. We try our best and Jarrod knows that he is a very big part of all of our lives. He hardly ever complains about being stuck at the hospital or the clinic.
Tomorrow is his special day and we are fortunate to have Joshua feeling good to help us celebrate.
He could not have a better big brother.
