Shauna and Russ, I don't have any pictures or stories. I never met Jesse personally although I can tell by the pictures, and by knowing you two, that I would have enjoyed him. I know that if I had had the chance, I would have marvelled at his wonderful, dependent little baby ways. And if he grabbed my finger, I would not have wanted to move for fear that he might let go. And if he looked at me with his eyes that seem so incredibly big and bright for such a little person, I would have smiled without being able to help myself, and I would watch him so I wouldn't miss it if he looked at me again. I know these things about Jesse because my children taught me well and now I know this about all babies and thier mothers and fathers. I start to imagine what you must be feeling and I can't continue. I gather myself and try to focus on something else. I am so glad that you have such wonderful family and friends to be with and share with. We are thinking of you. Phil and Karen Patterson 949-394-8105 papatterson@gmail.com
