Heart Forever Day - 1 Year!

It's been a year since the day Juanito started being with us forever! Year ago in Westin.... I can't believe how much he's grown and changed since then. He is absolute joy! We are so in love with our little boy .



I am thinking of all of you who are still waiting and I keep thinking about Carla and the unimaginable tragedy. I will think about Josi and praying for her families for the rest of my life. I still have very vivid memories of being afraid that something is going to happen to Juanito while we are helplessly waiting so far away.

Jamila
