Jax was the happiest, sweetest, most loving boy. He only used about 15 words but truthfully he didn't need any. His smile was contagious. His laugh could fill a room with smiles in an instant. He loved to "pat heads", mostly kids. He had a joy that spread like wildfire. In 5 short years he taught us so much. But more than anything, he brought us closer to God. He brought us closer as a family. He increased our faith in abundance. We saw miracles every day. The statistics said one thing but God said no, I have more for Jax. It was amazing to watch his progress. To watch God work in such miraculous ways. Jaxon's sleep apnea had gotten much worse. His respiratory issues were getting worse. We knew we had to do something. I was terrified for a tonsillectomy. But I knew it had to be done. God gave me peace over the surgery. Jax had his tonsils removed on Thursday, September 28th. We brought him home. Snuggled on the couch all evening. But I never dreamed that would be our last. God had a plan. He has a far greater plan than we can ever imagine. We trust Him. We know he works all things together for our good. We miss our boy so much and we are very broken. But we know God is right there to hold every broken piece.
In our grief, God spoke to our hearts, giving us a mission to start "The Eat Cake Foundation" to help the hurting in our communities (and one day around the world). We know that by sharing the love of Jesus, simply and honestly, the way that Jax did, our hearts will keep his memory alive through serving.
