"I remember it very well. My spirit is very sad deep down inside me. But here is something else I remember. And it gives me hope. The Lord loves us very much. So we haven't been completely destroyed. His loving concern never fails. His great love is new every morning. Lord, how faithful you are! I say to myself, "The Lord is everything I will ever need. So I will put my hope in him."
Lamentations 3:20-24

Dear Cindy,

You wrote, "In some way, it comforts me to know that the timing of Jay’s death was out of my hands. There is no “Secret to Longevity” on this side of heaven. Bottom line, despite our wishes for Jay to have had a longer life, we must trust that God knew better. Well said!

I often viewed my daughter's cancer as a pit bull from Satan cruelly shaking all the life out of her but that when she died in my arms, it was God's gentle hands that finally stilled her heart. Only God the Father in Heaven says when the heart stops beating in this life only to have the soul awaken in heaven that very same instant.

Your sweet baby boy is praising Jesus right now...and in His presence.

Still, I know how painful this is because we remain to live on without our child. Without the gift of faith from God, how could we even live?

God bless your family,

I was so sorry to read that Jay had passed away, not for him, since he is with the Lord in heaven, but for the rest of you who are missing him terribly. Jay is not in your past, he is in your future. It is this time of seperation that is hard, but I promise you, you will see him again one day when the Lord calls you home. I pray for your comfort, strength and encouragement. His short life on this earth has made a great impact on so many. May God continue to hold you in His loving hands.

Reading your entry from April 29 was very poignant to me. Our son died 2 years to the day. As I read I felt like I was reading some of our own thoughts and experiences. God is continuing to build your testimony. I am certain He is going to use this all for His glory. As He already has. I know you are in the midst of the hardest days right now. To look to the future and see God's glorification may be very difficult. But, let me tell you the pattern is much the same as we have experienced. Continue to hold tightly moment by moment to Him. Pour out the anguish and let him hear the frustration and grief. He can handle it. And He remains faithful. If you ever want to talk separate from the website, I'm available. Just email me.

Dear Jay's Family
I have been so touched by Jay and the trials you have endured in his honor. I believe that any trial God sends your way is not without impact or meaning and while the struggles you have had to endure are immeasurable I wanted you to now of a tiny, tiny, measurable benefit.

I will be signing up for a Team in Training 1/2 marathon (I might collapse w/ anything more) and will be asking to highlight in honor of Jay's battle and also Andrew Sprague. Your story and Andrew's families have really been a blessing to our family and I want you to now that good will come from the fight and the tears you have endured. In Christ's Name we wish you peace.

Hi Cindy and Jason,

Just wanted to stop by and let you know I still pray for you guys and miss our little fisherman Jay. I just loved your journal, gosh, you may consider writing a book one day!

Even in your greatest pain, such great light pours out of you. I know it's Jesus. I pray you continue to feel His loving arms wrapped around you, carrying you, and comforting you too.

Yes, we have this hope, and one day in a "blink of an eye" we will all be together again. I'll look forward to meeting your precious Jay that day.

Keep holding on,

Hi from Ainsley Lewallen's grandmother - she was his Cowboy Princess at the Angel Heart ball. She loves Jay so much and is happy he is with God and that her granddad and her great grandma are in heaven with him so they can give him big hugs everyday. Ainsley participated in a Trike-A-Thon last week for St. Jude's Childrens Hospital and made it around 20 laps with Jay riding along in her heart the whole way. She raised around $370 for the hospital so they can help other kids with cancer like her and Jay. May peace be in your hearts!

Thank you so much for continuing to journal on Jay's webpage. It is so good to hear how you are doing and how Jay lives on in your heart, as well as in the way you are now choosing to live your life. Your entry from this weekend is so inspirational. Our children have had so much to teach us about life, death and God, if only we will just listen.
Know that you and Jay are still in our thoughts and prayers,

You have already touched thousands with this website, but there are so many, many more who need to read these words. Never have I met a young couple with the faith that you and Jason have. Instead of our comforting you--you have comforted us. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Cindy, you never cease to amaze me with your words of wisdom and encouragement. I come here sometimes to drop you a line (even though we talk on the phone) and think that I am going to say something that may lift you up...instead, I am lifted. You truly have a gift that has been discovered by hundreds of thousands of people. Can you believe that your lives have touched that many souls?

I, along with all of us, wish that I could turn back the hands of time and make everything perfect for you...but God definitely knew that you would reach out to the world and change the lives of many through your tears. I just wonder how many people never knew Christ, but only through yours and Jasons entries....and now have HIM for themselves. Thank you!

Well Miss Ginger (the pony has arrived at Angel Heart!) she is so cute, I gave her a bath and body clipped her on Friday, she is very sassy and loves to chase Buddy around. Rocky has a crush on her, she a little smaller than Cisco, she looks like a Ginger Snap cookie, a bit chubby too! She can haradly wait to be part of the Gaskins Gang. Miss Ginger Gaskins is a great name for her. We are praying for you all everyday and can hardly wait to see you all again soon. I am on my way to Chicago and will be back on Wednesday, my volunteers are going to be very busy! Khuryia is at the vet being bred, so next year a new little Angel will be here! Just what we need!!!

All of you have been weighing heavily on my mind today, so I came inside from doing yard work and checked your site. Your update is so inspiring and talking about "Big Mamma" really brought me back in time. You brought back such wonderful memories for me and put a smile on my face. I am so touched by your wonderful way with words. You continue to reach so many hearts even when yours is heavy. In the midst of your grief you always see that silver lining. It is such an inspiration to read your updates. As always you and your family are remembered in thoughts and prayers.

Here is the devotion I promised last night but never got back on to post it. Hope you like it. Tell me what you think at www.caringbridge.org/visit/helencox
“The Towsons”: A Devotion on prayer, hope, and coping with disease and disaster

1 Thessalonians 5: 18- Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

When I found out that, I would have to have surgery for my scoliosis I found myself mad at everyone and everything including God. I repeatedly asked him “Why me? Why not Taylor? Everything is always happening to me.” Then during the next three years, my faith and relationship with God grew stronger and I learned the importance and power of prayer due to this event in my life. When I came to Mulberry, I met Jimmy and Debbie Towson. Jimmy is a former lawyer who dropped his law business to go into the ministry. He is currently the youth and associate pastor at Mulberry. His wife Debbie is head of Macon Outreach. Anyway, recently their house caught fire and they have continued to praise God throughout. Jimmy and Debbie have helped teach me what it means to praise the Lord in every circumstance, whether good or bad. Jimmy and Debbie have also taught me the importance of being happy with what you have and thankful that you have it. I have met many others recently who have taught me similar valuable lessons in faith through their struggles with loss or disease. Some of these people include, the Gaskins who had hope and continued to praise and love God through their son Jay’s battle with a malignant brain tumor and his death, and the Rev. Shelton Meyers in New Orleans who taught me that what was lost in Katrina (and with Jimmy and Debbie in the fire) are only material things, “stuff.”

Thought provoking questions

Who has taught you a lesson in faith? How are you putting it into practice?

When have you felt God’s presence in you life- especially at a time when you really needed it?

Scripture

Romans 8:26-28, 31, Romans 4:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Isaiah 35:4, Colossians 4:29, Psalm 91

Prayer: when in doubt pray:

“Even when bad things happen in my life and I am tempted to forget you God, to totally abandon you because I do not understand the why’s and how's of it all, keep me grounded in you, strong and steady, faithful all the way, firmly trusting you ways.”

Challenge

As you go out into the real world, ask God to be with a family member or friend who is coping with a loss or a disease.

Faith in action:

If you have friends or loved ones who are in poor health or struggling with a loss place in your locker, on your dresser or in your dresser or in your sacred places pictures of them or special tokens of your relationships. Throughout the day be reminded to ask God to grant them healing and comfort. This devotion is dedicated to Jimmy and Debbie Towson and the many others who have taught me important lessons in my faith.

Also please keep my friend Ashley who has serious back pain and pressure in her back and has missed almost a week of school in your prayers. More info on my caringbridge sit www.caringbridge.org/visit/helencox

She was 2 years old and her name is Sophie Dawn. I am inspired by your strength and how you can write your feelings like you do.

As I read your last journal entry I could have written it. For the last 2 Easters I have said "Why is it my head knows that this is a day to celebrate and because of this day I will one day see Stanton again, but my heart still hurts so bad and celebrating is so hard to do."

You continue to inspire me with your faith that is so evident in your journal entries. God has definitely blessed you with the special gift of writing. I am still praying for all of you as you go through this difficult time; a time that no parent should have to go through but I rejoice knowing that special little Jay is up in heaven running, singing and fishing in God's favorite fishing hole.

I lost a very dear cousin tragically (he was actually more like a brother to me) 2 years ago on March 31st. Ricky was an avid fisherman so when little Jay went to be with Jesus on March 31st, I looked up to heaven and told Ricky that he had a little fisherman coming his way. I know they are having a grand time reeling them in!

Sending prayers, hugs and love your way. May God continue to hold you in the palm of His hand.

I am so sad for your loss, but so encouraged by your faith in Jesus...and celebrate with you that Jay is with Him now. I am so thankful to have met you all when I worked with Mercer University's Up 'til Dawn last year. I remember having Jay hold my finger as we walked around to put smiley stickers on the students...he was so happy and really inspired the students to send out thousands of letters to family and friends to raise money for St. Jude. Thank you all for your willingness to help continue the fight against childhood cancer and for your witness for Jesus Christ. You are in my prayers...may the God of all Hope wrap you in His arms and comfort you.

You're still doing it. Comforting and inspiring me when it should be the other way around. Your strength has amazed me throughout this entire venture and continues too. I pray that each day will be easier for you and your family. As you said, everyone grieves differently and you must grieve. Don't feel ashame or mad that you are sad, scared, resentful or even mad. These are normal feeling when you have gone through what you have in the last three years. It will get easier as time goes on. Just keep you faith and keep your eye on Jesus and it will get better.

Dear Gaskins Gang
Ok Miss K, are you ready for the big horse show??? Rocky is all ready to look fancy and in shape. Basko is eager to go with Tanner too! I plan on showing Basko in a few classes, so when I am riding him I need your honest opinion how I do, OK?! I went to Illinis to see Fly yesterday and have our pictures taken , he is so pretty, I can hardly wait til you all see him in person. I am having some pictures of Rocky blown up for you Miss K! I have been praying and thinking of you all everyday, I am going to see Ginger this weekend and bring her to Angel Heart for a bit to get her ready for her new home and rider! Cindy, your simply amazing, one of our supporters asked about you all yesterday and I told them what has been going on, he said he never heard a more amazing speech in his life as the one you gave at the ball, he said he wanted a copy of it, so I thought we could put it on the web site of Angel Hearts. Let me know what you think. I love you all very much and so does the Angel Crew!
oxxoHug really tight Angel Jay will always be in the middle!

Cindy,
I can't even see the keyboard through the tears. Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimony of God's grace in the midst of heartache. I am so humbled and so blessed by your words. I often find myself "shouting from the rooftop" because of Ashley's victory thus far over cancer. However, to be truthful, I often convicted of "hanging on to this life" as we know it and not fully grasping the truth of how this life is truly just a vapor. As you said it best, the real beginning for each of us is eternity. In the "Purpose Driven Life" the author talks about this life being our dress rehersal for eternity. To be absent from this body, is to be present with the Lord. It is so easy for all of us to lose site of eternity. It is truly just the beginning for all of us who believe. Thank you for sharing from your heart. God is using you as a mighty voice and you are bringing Him so much glory. After reading your words today, I am so touched and so moved to just praise Him for Who He Is and not just for what He has done. Just know that I think of you often and continue to pray. May God continue to hold you in the palm of His Hands.

Dear Cindy and Jason,

Been out of town...Oh my, your journal was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. Yes, in the midst of our darkest days, Jesus is there.

Thank God for the "HOPE" we have to be reunited. Jay is where we all long to be. Jesus is Alive, and one day soon we will all be walking down those streets of Gold, hand and hand with our Father who has gone ahead of us to prepare that home!

Sending so much love to you and Jason during this difficult time. Thanks for sharing your hearts and your precious Jay with us all.

Your words are so dear!! When my daughter was diagnosed with a fatal illness I would try to go to church but felt desperately out of place. I wouldn't want to sing or pray and I felt ashamed for not wanting to. I told my mother-in-law about my feelings and she told me this...that is why we are a part of a congregation...when we can't sing others sing for us...when we can't pray others pray for us. She told me to go to be enveloped and supported....to listen to the songs even though I wouldn't be able to choke out the melody through the lump in my throat.

I know that you had a wonderful Easter experience...I just wanted to share that with you

You all are in our prayers.

Hi all,
We just want you to know that you are in all of our thoughts and prayers. Ainsley constantly talks about Jay. We have told her that he is in Heaven now, which made her happy. Every day, she mentions him to me or her daddy. It is not in sadness though. I feel that she also was very happy to know him and is glad he is no longer fighting that horrible cancer. You have got to be a strong family to go through all you have been through. Hang on to each other and Jay will always be with each of us.

My precious Cindy and Jason, How I wish I could ease your pain; how I wish I could make your dream come true. How I wish I could turn back the hand of time to our weekend in Emmaus and start the journey of life over, this time with a different outcome for you. But I can't. I can only hold your hand in prayerful spirit as you both journey through this unbelievable and incomprehensible process! In your dark moments, will you travel back to that evening at Emmaus when you saw with your very eyes, the HANDS and FEET of Jesus . . . Hold onto that image, because they (we) are still holding on to you, never letting you go!

"Jesus, Jesus, can I tell you how I feel? You have given me your spirit; I love you so!

Holding you tight as ever!

Been thinking about you so much today...holidays hit so very hard. You described grief very well. I'd heard of grief also described as a roller coaster. That erally fits too. There are times when you think you're doing better, you start to smile, you even laugh for the first time, and then you go down again...you don't think you should be laughing when your son's not there anymore. Then you get through some more time and you realize that he'd want you to laugh and things get better again. Then you hear something, or smell something and all of a sudden you're heart starts aching so badly all over again. The first year is so hard for just that reason...all the firsts. You've now gotten through your first Easter...but there are many more holidays and times to get through. On your own you could never make it. But the Lord is with you every step of the way! He'll get you through each moment of each day! I've now lost both parents. both "in-law" parents, my oldest sister, and my son to miscarriage. My son died 11 years ago today, also Easter Sunday. So Easter has always been the hardest for me to get through. Know that my heart aches so with yours. I look at the picture of your precious little man and oh my heart aches....

Garden City, GA - Sunday, April 16, 2006 9:07 PM CDT

You were on my heart this morning as I woke and got ready for "Easter Day." I was thinking about how this is your first of many firsts for the year to come. The first holiday without Jay here on earth. I hear people talk about the first this and that when a loved one has passed away, but I have not experienced it firsthand. I can't even begin to understand where you are at this time. There are no words from my lips that can really comfort you. Sometimes I choose not to use any. Sometimes we choose just to speak to you as if nothing has happened. But please remember as life goes on around you and we come to you in different ways...that we are all struggling to understand your truth, your life, your grief and we are grieving with you. My heart aches not for Jay, but for you, Kaitlin, Jason, Tanner and all of your sweet grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. I know your heart is heavy and there is nothing we can do to make it better but smile and hug and love you from afar. And that we do. I pray for sweeter memories to replace the pain of the past few weeks and months.

I love you and will be praying for your dreams to be of Jay in heaven sitting in Jesus's lap singing praises just as he loved to do here on earth.

I really feel sorry for you. Even though thank you Jesus you have that reassurance that you will see him again. Try to have a Happy Easter all of you.

Jason, Sandy, kaitlyn and Tanner,
You and your families are in our families prayer (Mavis and Timbrook) We eill be praying for you during this Easter season. I guess God need his with Him in Heaven helping him out getting us all prepared for Easter. I can see what a great helper Jay will be. We can't possible say the right things to comfort your family. I asked my father-in-law who lost his daughter from a brain tumor (different from Brook) How he is not angry about losing his precious daughter. His answer almost brought me to my knees, he said "I know Julie is in Heaven and she with Jesus and she is happy and in no pain. As much as I know he misses her I can see that he is at peace with Julie in heaven I can see your family knows what Jim knows and feels. I'm sure it doesn't make it any easier but it will be easier. You will never forget beautiful Jay be he knew how he was loved by all and it made his journey easier. Jenny Mavis is my sister-law/friend and she always reminds to pray for Jay and your family. I was down visiting Jenny and Brook and got to meet your awesome family. I even wiped Tanner's nose for him. Mom's have to work together and be there for each other. You and your family with be in our thought on EAster Day. God Bless!! Live everyday as it is the last! Jessie Timbrook

Ephesians 1:18-20
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, [19] and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, [20] which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, HAPPY EASTER!

In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree;
In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;
There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity,
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

I too have lost parents and other relatives. My hardest time in my life came in 1997 when my dad passed away. We had the same birthday, the same blood type, and we could've passed for twins. And, on Father's Day of 1997 he passed away. I can still remember what grief I felt. I couldn't eat, sleep, or even function. Until I dealt with things in my own way. God knew what was best, because of his illness, and he had suffered so much. But, as humans, we're never ever ready to give up someone that we love so very much. And now, after 9 years, it still hurts when I know Father's Day is approaching, but, I have the comfort and consolation that God is taking care of him, and that he's well, and handsome again, and he's waiting for the day when he and I can celebrate Father's Day again. I learned from that that you shouldn't take anything for granted, enjoy every sun rise and sun set, and just enjoy what God has so graciously bestowed upon us. You don't know me, but, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that you all will have a blessed and nice Easter Weekend. The picture of your little boy is so precious, and I'm sure he looks even "cooler" with that halo and wings, cause you know God is taking care of him and holding him close to his heart. God Bless you all.

I asked some friends to come read your latest entry. One of my friends read it and thought of this song by the group "Mercy Me". The song is called "Homesick". I've posted the lyrics below, perhaps you've already heard it. I continue to pray for your family.

You're in a better place,
I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times
I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken,
the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbyes
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

I just wanted to say I'm praying for your family daily. Your post is so moving and heart-breaking all at the same time, as a parent. I have never experienced the type of pain your family is going through, so I can only imagine a tiny fraction of daily life. I know that God will strengthen each of you and walk with you through this daily journey of learning to be without your precious Jay, until you have him in your arms again in Heaven. What a glorious time that will be for each of us as believers. Please know prayers are still being said daily for each of you.

I've had those recurring dreams of having lost my children, worsening after Steven was diagnosed and peaking in Memphis during the four stem cell transplants-- and it wasn't Steven who was lost in those dreams, it was his brother.

I sponsored her and told her I was doing this for my little fisherman/cowboy friend, Jay. My prayers are with you and Jason and your family as you learn to find your new normal. I know you miss that precious little smile. Hold on to it until that day does come when you can scoop him up into your arms. I look forward to meeting him myself. In Jesus' love,

You are not grieving alone and I hope that is some comfort to you. Though I only met Jay a few times, way back when at the gym, and I only saw you at the gym or at MOPS, I have followed your family's journey almost since day one. I am grieving for your earthly loss and feel so helpless that there is little I can do. I am touched by your keeping up the website in the face of all that has happened and only wish that I could be half as strong. I wish that there was some way you could shift your grief to me, if only for a minute or an hour or a day, just so that you could feel free from that for awhile. I hope that you you can find comfort in knowing that so many are praying for your family. Take care.

Dear Cindy and Jason,
We continue to check the website daily, praying for you guys. Thank you for having the courage to post even though it was extremely painful. You have shared so much of your journey, and that has ministered to so many, but for now, you just take care of each other. Take your time, and post when you can. Don't push yourself. We all hurt so much for you guys, and will take you to the throne daily whether you have the energy to post or not. We'll assume we need to pray extra hard during those quiet days.

I'm glad you came to the playground yesterday. We enjoyed being with you all. I know it had to be difficult, but I think Tanner and Kaitlyn enjoyed it. Take one day at a time and do what you can when you feel like it.
I love those orange fingernails! We'll be praying for you especially over this Easter weekend.

Dear Jason, Cindy, Tanner and Kaitlyn
I am praying you all will find Easter a day of healing, knowing that Angel Jay is on the biggest Easter Egg Hunt ever in Heaven with Jesus. I found some old pictures of my ponies that are in Heaven right now, I was thinking of which one Jay is riding. I had a palamino pony named PonyTown, she was so pretty and very sassy, I can see Jay running really fast on her, she loved little ones so much! I can hardly wait for you all to return to Nashville! The show will be so much fun and I am sure Miss K will rock on Rocky. I loved your update Cindy, you are an amazing Mommy to your babies here on Earth and Jay in Heaven. Much love to you all and many prayers from me and the Angel Crew

My eyes are filled with tears. What can I say?? Other than I to believe that you will see Jay agian in Heaven as the Bible promises. Your strengh in God is incrediblely strong and even though I read and hear your pain their is a since of peace that comes across with your messages that you update. God is awsome and Jay was lucky to have had such an awsome family. I only hope I can be as good as a parent as you both are! You have taught me to cherish everyday we have with our kids. What a blessing you all are and what a powerful story you have to share with others who are wandering along alone. Jay your life here on earth will always be remebered.

I connected with you and Jay because for one, I have an almost 4 year old boy myself and secondly most of my family is from Georgia, including Macon and Dublin. My heart breaks for you as a Mother!

I have been one that has been checking for updates but not seeing one made me pray even harder for you! I have never been through something like this but I do know that I was sent to your website through someone else's and the moment that I read Jay's story, I knew that God led me here to pray! I know that what you're going through is absolutely indescribable but I want you to know that I lift you before tha Lord several times a day! As does the rest of my family! My 5 year old daughter prays every night for "all the kids that have cancer and for their families so they aren't sad or in too much pain. And that they will play together in Heaven someday"! That is the greatest reassurance- that there is no more pain in Heaven and that you have the promise that you will one day be able to scoop him up and give him all the love that you've been holding on to! We will continue to check in and when you're feeling weak- just know that we are praying! Take care~ Kate Hebb and family

I thought of the courage it would take as a parent to write an update on a child's website after that child is gone. I could imagine never writing an update again.

I thank you for the courage it took to write this update. I cannot imagine how difficult life is for you now and wish you an end to the bad dreams and beginning of some type of healing. I wish you strength so that some time you may be able to focus more on the good memories.

I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, but I hope that sharing your grief here on the website helps just a little bit.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I still find myself constantly coming to Jay's site. Even though I never knew him, my boys and I prayed for him every day before school. He won our hearts with his crooked smile and precious face. My heart just aches for your family. Please know there are many of us out here, praying for you during this time. Thank you for your example of faith through this ordeal. It's inspiring to read of your devotion to the Lord. May He give you comfort and peace in the months to come.

I love you. I think about you, Jason, Kaityln, Tanner, and most of all sweet Jay everyday. I'm heartbroken.

I took Lisa's advise and starting writing down all the sweet memories I have of Jay, our trips together, and all the times I spent babysitting him and I'm ready to fill up that memory book now!
Just know that I love you and I'm always here if you need anything. I'll see you all this weekend.

I read this not too long ago and immediately thought of Jay.

The Brave Little Soul
By: John Alessi

Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however, the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen, why is there suffering in the world?".

God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in peoples hearts". The little soul was confused. "What do you mean", he asked. God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences, and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.

The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this-it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer-to unlock this love-to create this miracle-for the good of all humanity.

Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into this world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle!

God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.

God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.

Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys-some regained lost faith-many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives were changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased."

Still praying for you all, Denise
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39

Isaiah 43:1-4
But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the fire, you will NOT be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. Since you are precious in My sight Since you are honored and I LOVE YOU, I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life."

Dear Gaskin and Coty families,
The "Celebration of Jay's Life" was such a special tribute to a beautiful little boy. The sweet memories recollected in the photographs, the music, and the loving words paid tribute to a life bravely lived. We are praying that God will keep you close in His embrace and give you renewed strength daily. Your faith in God and your strength and courage is an inspiring testimony to all. We pray for your comfort in knowing that "Baby Jay" is now in the loving arms of Jesus. Praise God for His goodness and grace.

Still thinking of y'all and praying for you. My mom passed away December 31, 2004 from cancer and I still miss her as if it happened yesterday. I know she is up in heaven looking down on us all just as your Jay is. Take comfort, as I do, in knowing that one day we will all meet again and be able to spend eternity with the ones we love. Praying for your peace.

Cindy and Jason, what a beautiful memorial service. Please know that we will continue to pray for each one of you in the days to come. Remember as I told you earlier not only does God have you by the hand but know that we all have you by the hand and are walking with you. From the slide show to the stories his Aunt Margaret, Kevin, Lisa, Rev. Carter and Dr Moon told to the childrens choir and the lighting of the candles it was such a beautiful journey we took Monday remembering Jay. As I drove back to Atlanta I felt a sense of peace knowing that Jay in only the short 5 years he was here left so many good memories for everyone. Cindy and Jason thank you so much for sharing this special angel with us.

I came to this webpage because I love Jackie and wanted her to know I was thinking of her and wanted to send a love offering in memory of Jay, I am leaving this website, heart so heavy it hurts, sharing some of Jay's preciousness that will be a joy to you someday. What a blessing and heartache to have someone as special as Jay in your lives and to share that with the whole world. And then by sharing this, I see that not only God has and will continue to do his part to comfort all of you, but how special not only Jay was and is, but how special all of you are to have so many and I really mean so many to help share this terrible burden that was placed on such a normal little family. Normal little family, no more, you are among thousands strong that love and adore you. Please hold your heads up for all you did and be proud of that little fisherman and of yourselves for touching so many lives in such special ways. Please keep up your faith and go through the following days to make yourself strong again as the strength of so many are on your side. I never knew Jay, but I do know his Grandmother and from knowing her and reading how so many love him, he must be some really special ANGEL on EARTH, when he was with us and especially now in spirit. Hold on to that and remember him always. With tears in my eyes and sadness but joy in my heart...

I know exactly what you are going through and when my friends Daniel and Leah died of the stupid Cancer I wrote this poem...

Earthly Lessons.

God saw that you were suffering,
and could not bear it anymore.
He only wanted to banish the pain
behind your every door.

He knew that you were brave enough,
and had love for all to feel.
He knew that death could never
banish the lessons you have appealed.

So he took away the suffering
you felt more and more.
He gave you a big bear hug and Whispered,
"Heaven is all yours!".

Your family, who is just as strong,
though they may feel agrieved at first,
will come to realize the lessons
you taught them here on earth!

I hope this poem helps you as you read it, as it helped me as I wrote it. Just know Love is nothing compared to death or suffering, Love outlasts both of them.

All Prayers here, Sammi

You do not know me,but I heard about Baby Jay through business with Mr. Billy Gaskins. I am truly saddened to hear that Baby Jay has gone to heaven. He will watch over you always and will be waiting to greet each one of you as you arrive in heaven. There were so many praying for Baby Jay and there are just as many praying for you and you family as well. The memories will live on forever. May God bless you all and all that you have been through. You are all a testament to what love is and that you would go to the ends of the earth for those you love. My prayers are with you all.

I know these days are difficult and draining. And many thoughts and prayers are with you. You know you have support, yet you ache so very deeply to your core. Since I cannot physically be with you, I don't know what is going on and won't pretend I do. But, I pray that you continue to use this website for the next leg of your journey. Jay will not be forgotten by the hundreds of lives he has touched. Some may say things with good intention that are just so hard to hear. I know you held on for that "miracle" and it is indeed hard to now walk these days. Yet, in knowing your faith through these pages you've shared, I also know you have hope. I know you are confident of seeing Jay again. Yet, as the contemporary christian song goes...."I've never been more homesick than now". Perhaps that is where you are at. Feeling homesick for heaven to be with your sweet Jay. Oh do I know how that feels. Please know we are all still here for you if you need to just pour out your heart. Let us all surround you and pray for you-when you are ready of course. And feel confident that prayers now turn more specifically for you as mom and dad and for your other two kids as well. The prayers will need to be stronger in some ways. Let us not cease praying with the same diligence as we did when praying for a specific medical miracle for Jay. We commit now to praying for YOU!

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

We've never met, yet we share a common bond.
Each of us held a child that now is gone.
You're searching for reasons why?
I wish I could tell you how.
But no one had the answers right now.

Knowing far to well just what you're going through,
It wasn't that long ago
Someone was there for me.
If you need me, I'll be there for you.

You are not alone
Through restless hours of sorrow and pain.
As tears keep falling like rain.
How could it?

You are not alone,
Lord knows you are not to blame
Feeling life just isn't the same.
You're not alone
Hours turn into days
Days turn into years
The memory of your precious one never disappears.

Behind each storm there's a rainbow.
Beyond the clouds skies are blue.
You ask me, when I say I do.
If you need me, I'll be here for you.

You're not alone
Through restless hours of sorrow and pain
as tears keep falling like rain...
And though your storm has just begun,
Keep watching for the morning..
Joy will come again.

Dear Gaskin Family - I happened upon your website in 2004 through Ben Bowen's website and have checked on Jay and your family regularly since then. I am stunned by this devasting news - there are no words to express my sincere sympathy. You will continue to be in my prayers. Your steadfast faith amazed me everytime I read your updates. May God comfort you and surround during this difficult time.

My prayer is that God will comfort you and give you peace in a way that only He can!

Jason and Cindy,
Unfortunately, this is the fourth service that I have attended in the last two years for a child that battled cancer. I will not lie, thinking of coming to Jay's service troubled me the most because of the similarities between Jay and Elliot. But, I want you to know that after I left the visitation tonight I was filled with a peace that I have never had before. After witnessing your sincere strength I was moved. In every other experience, the parents put up a facade of peace and understanding that left me so sad for them, and so scared for Elliot's future. Your strength and unwavering faith filled me with hope for whatever lies ahead in my life and Elliot's. I will continue to pray for your family, but I want to let you know how amazing you are. You were lucky to be blessed with Jay as son, but he was also blessed to have you for his Mom and Dad.

When Haley was first diagnosed, I had a shirt I wore alot that had the following on the back...

CANCER IS SO LIMITED
IT CANNOT CRIPPLE LOVE
IT CANNOT SHATTER HOPE
IT CANNOT QUENCH THE SPIRIT
IT CANNOT SILENCE COURAGE
IT CANNOT INVADE THE SOUL
IT CANNOT LESSEN THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION
IT CANNOT KILL FRIENDSHIP
IT CANNOT DESTROY CONFIDENCE
IT CANNOT CORRODE FAITH
IT CANNOT SHUT OUT MEMORIES
IT CANNOT REDUCE ETERNAL LIFE.

Jay has that eternal life..for that I am so thankful and for parents that went to the ends of the earth to find a cure for him. You are in my prayers.

Our sweet Baby Jay is now with Papa in heaven. He's telling him about that day on Nana's dock when he caught that "Big Old Trout". Jay says, Papa I sure wish you could have been there, it was wonderful. Papa says, if you think the fishing was good down there, wait till I show you around up here. Imagine that Papa & Jay fishing together in heaven. They can't wait to show us all - "their catch".
One day we will all be fishing off of the same dock in heaven with Papa & Jay.

A LETTER FROM
HEAVEN

"To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every
morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

"It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do,
and foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too....
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night... "My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented.... that my life has been wothwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in you footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.... you're coming here to me.

Yet, he touched us and made us love him and changed our lives for the better. The world is a simply a better place for Jay having been here and Heaven is better for having him. Thank you, Gaskins family, for sharing your beautiful son with us.

Dear Gaskin family...I do not know you personally, but i would like to wish you my deepest and most sincere hearfelt sympathy over the loss of your precious child. May you find comfort in knowing he is now in the arms of Jesus! No one could possibly "know" how you feel at this time, but you are certainly in my thoughts and prayers. May this lift your spirits.....

When I must leave you.....
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve or shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name,
Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking our in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And in turn I will comfort you,
And hold you near.
And never,never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
-Author unknown

What do I say that will heal your broken hearts? Oh how I wish so dearly that I could bring him back for you. He was such a sweet sweet boy and I was so excited to hear that he was comming home. How things change in life from day to day. My heart is heavy not for Baby Jay, for I know that he is in a better place with God, but for your grief that you and your family must be feeling. I am so so sorry. I have never met Jay, yet through his story it inspired me to just take time to appreciate the little stuff. May God hold your family under his wings and comfort you with his grace through all of this. Jay I will miss your smile, and you will be greatly missed. I hope to meet you in heaven soon!

You are constantly in our thoughts and especially in our prayers. I can't imagine what you must be feeling and I have no idea what to say that would be comforting. Everything seems so inappropriate or unnecessary. I know it's supposed to be a time of celebration that he is in Heaven and no longer in pain but that sure doesn't seem to make anyone miss him any less. I'm sure each hour seems like an eternity. My prayers are with all of you today and everyday to come as you go through this together. We love you!

I want you to know that i am so sorry to hear that Jay is no longer with you, im sure that he was a very special boy. I know it may sound cliche to say this, but today is a day for celebration, Jay is Home, and he is in no more pain, he will never have to feel anymore sadness, disappointment. He is in the loving arms of God, in paradise. Something we on earth can only dream of...for now, but for Jay it is a reality.

My deepest condolences go out to your entire family

God Bless,

I found your site through a request from a friend for prayer for Jay and your family. I am so sorry for your loss! I am sure after reading your entries and journals, that you have surely been blessed by his time here with your family! I know ultimately, we as parents want more time with our children, but only God knows what the future holds. Jay is dancing free in heaven now, free from pain and infirmities! He is whole and will see you one day in his wholeness. What a day that will be!! But for now, God has more for your family to do on this earth! He has truly blessed your family through Jays time here, even though painful in loss, the blessings are still there. Many prayers for God to wrap his loving arms around your family as you celebrate Jay's life.
In Christ's Love,

Jason and Cindy:
Jason and I went to high school together in Albany and I've never had the pleasure of meeting Jay or your other children. From what I understand and can see in the pictures, Jay was such a joy and a bright light to everyone who knew him. Having children of my own, I cannot imagine the hurt your hearts must be going through at this time but I believe that you can take comfort in the fact that Jay is now a bright light with the Lord. He is happy and comfortable with our God. We are praying for your family and will keep you deep in our hearts.

Home is where healing begins......I know he is "home" and is healed and playing with the angels. My prayers are with your family for healing and peace. Thank you for sharing your angel with us!

We Remember Them--from Gates Of Prayer, Reform Judaism Prayerbook

In the rising of the sun, and in it's going down.....
We remember them.

In the blowing of the wind, and in the chill of winter....
We remember them.

In the opening of buds, and in the warmth of summer....
We remember them.

In the rustling of leaves, and the beauty of Autumn....
We remember them.

In the beginning of the year, and when it ends....
We remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength....
We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart....
We remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share....
We remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are now a part of us as....

We remember them.

My sister lost her son two years ago and we hold on to the words of "suffer not the little children....the kingdom of God belongs to them".

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never really knew Jay in person I feel as though I have known him forever through your posts. May you take comfort in knowing that today you didn't say good-bye to Jay, simply a "see you later" and that he will be waiting anxiously at the gates of Heaven to spend eternity with his loving family. I will keep your family in my prayers just as I have for the past 2 years. Take comfort in knowing that Jay is running down the streets of gold able to do all that a 5 year old little boy should be able to do and is no longer struggling to breathe or struggling to walk. You now have a very precious guardian angel to walk with you everyday, everywhere you go. Jay's story has inspired me to consider becoming a pediatric oncologist to help children and their families fight the awful beast of cancer and to strive for the day when all cancers will be curable.
Praying for you and for your peace, comfort, and healing,

When I think of "Sweet Baby Jay" and family I think of....2Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith". I never got to meet any of you in person, but I feel as though I know each of you and the fellow prayer warriors on Jay's site. I have cried and prayed for each of you all day. I still sit and look at my Jay's Hope bracelet that is on my arm and think that Jay doesn't need the hope any more. Each of us have prayed faithfully for healing for Jay and today he received the greatest healing....it wasn't the earthly healing that we were wanting, but he no longer has to be stuck with those needles and take that yucky medicine. I know he is sitting in the lap of God right now and telling him all about the fishing,horse riding, and thanking Him for the wonderful mommy, daddy, brother and sister that He gave him. Until I see you heaven......love you little man.

Saying I'm sorry doesn't even begin to explain how I feel for you. I know there are no words to comfort you at this time. I will always remember meeting Cindy,Jay and Tanner at St. Jude. Victoria was so excited to meet a friend. Even if they only saw each other for a few minutes. She stood by me so many times as I checked the website. I know she was there to welcome him into Heaven this afternoon with one of her special hugs. The days and months ahead will be more unbearbable than you ever imagined. Please call anytime if you would like to talk, cry, scream, whatever you need. Others won't really understand. There's no way they can. Please remember that you are loved by so many. Little Jay touched so many lives. So many people have been blessed by you sharing your courage, strength and faith. We will continue to keep your family in our prayers.

Your journal entries made me feel like I have known him over the last couple of years. I have prayed for him every day....I will miss him so. Reading the notes from fellow prayer warriors, I am awestruck at the lives he has touched....not just touched but made an impact on. Praying for a miracle all this time....yet now I realize....Jay WAS the miracle. Thank you for sharing your precious miracle with us. The Gaskins family will remain at the top of my prayer list.

Dear Cindy, Jason, Kaitlyn, Tanner and Family
I had this memory in my head all day, it was a rainy Sunday and you all had come to the farm to ride, and we did in the rain. Basko and Dory were in no mood but of course Rocky and Cisco were so happy to see the kids. My Cowboy Jay had that crooked sweet smile on his face, riding Cisco the Disco King Pony, and Tanner was climbing the fence and Miss K was trotting on her Rocky! I was so happy to have you all there that day and you brought our favorite drink! DIET MOUNTAIN DEW! When you all were getting ready to leave, Jay rolled down the window in the Gaskin mobile and yelled I love you Miss Tracy, I love you Cisco, I love you Gabby.... I am so blessed and honored to have met you all, Jay changed my life, he was the sweetest little man I ever met, I always said, I wish he was 35 years older! Now He is the sweetest little Cowboy in Heaven. I know there a few of my old ponies There in Heaven that will be waiting with saddles on their backs ready to go trotting in the blue skies. I am so sad for you all, we are all praying for you all. Jay will always be in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Hold each other really tight, Your Angel Jay is right there in the middle.

Jason and Cindy through this journey you both have shown more grace and dignity than people much older than the two of you. I know that not only myself but many people have learned alot about faith and grace from the two of you. Jay not only had God walking with him but two of the strongest parents that a child could ask for. Take all of your good memories of "Baby Jay" and use them to help you all through the days ahead. Please know that all of us may not be with you in person but we all have your hand and will continue to walk the days ahead with each one of you.

You'd think I would have great words to comfort you having walked a similar path, but there simply are none which express how wonderful a little boy Jay is and what an inspiration you all have been. Your faith has been remarkable. I remember the first time we met at RMH as Jay was happily playing with the trains despite his recent brain surgery. What a fighter all of you have been! I hope that you find comfort and peace in the days and months ahead in the support of so many around you, in your faith that Jay lives on in a much better place and knowing you did all you could for Jay here on Earth. Sending you all of our love and prayers,

Today @ 1:59PM Baby Jay toddled through the gates of heaven, fishing pole in hand and a huge smile on his face. He was free of tubes and free of pain and free of frustration. His sweet baby lips chatter relentlessly with unbridled joy. The Heavenly Father smiles as His "Too Big a Miracle" makes his presence known to all the heavenly host. Jay's courage will live on in the hearts of those who loved him and prayed for him. While we sorrow, we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. Our "Too Big a Miracle" lives on....

Fisherman Jay left quite a mark on this earth with many, many people. Although I haven't written very often, I have checked your site everyday. I came to know your family through my niece, Victoria Newsome's site. The achievements he made were heroic, the setbacks, heartbreaking. I will take solace in knowing that Victoria is walking with Jay now as they continue to be the beautiful children that they were on this earth.
May God continue to bless and comfort you.

I don't know if you remember me or not but we are friends of Kelli's and Bret's. My son Jaran was at RMH in Nov-Dec. 03. I too have followed Jay's journey and have prayed for Jay and your family. I want you to know that your faith is a testimont to us all. I know God is still in the miracle working business. But I also know he is not on our time but his. Many times we don't understand why things happen the way they do. I guess it is not for us to understand. Please know I have drawn strength and have been blessed by your ministry in each page of Jays journal. I am holding you up in prayer this morning and waiting with you for your miracle to arrive.

I don't know if you remember us, but we were at the RMH in Fall of '03 with our wild n' crazy son Jacob. (he passed peacefully to heaven in April of -04) I'm not exactly sure what to say today. I have been watching your struggles and following your journey. I've been praying, hoping against all logical belief, and still today, with the same hope I believe God can do all things. The way you've journeyed has been so similar to how our family coped with the ups and downs medically. Believing God, even when it doesn't seem possible. But, what else is there? You must always hold on to hope in Jesus. No matter WHAT happens today, there is HOPE and there is Peace that passes understanding. I know your hearts must be aching, and perhaps they are completely torn out. But, Jesus' loving arms are surrounding all of you. I will pray that today you find "peace", the Peace that passes all understanding. That you may be able to take a deep breath of that peace and let it out slowly. No matter what happens, God is STILL in control. May your faith not waiver at this tender time. You will be in my prayers today. Even if you cannot pray yourself, the Holy Spirit hears your "groans" and will recieve your prayers. Let us all today surround you so you may feel God's presence. "Against all hope we believe".

On my knees for our little fisherman. I do not have to work today (I'd taken a day of vacation) so I'll commit my day to uninterrupted intercession for all of you. God has not forsaken us. He has a divine plan and is holding sweet Jay in His powerful hand. I don't always understand His will and the possibility of letting Jay go scares me and breaks my heart. Fear is from the evil one and we need to cast it out in the name of Jesus and cling to our creator for strenght, solace and peace. Walking in faith with you, one difficult step at a time. When you feel as if you just can't take one more step hold your arms out and the Lord will pick you up and carry you--my guess is that He's already got all of you safe in His loving embrace.

Heavenly Father,
We cry out to you for a miracle for Jay. We are floored by these turn of events. Our minds reel and we are overwhelmed by what has happened and is happening. Center us Lord back on You. May we be mindful to give You glory and praise even in the midst of this darkness. We love You, Lord and trust You with Jay. Be merciful oh Lord. Grant us Your peace and the strength to get through. Send Your Holy Spirit to comfort and counsel and guide right now. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Cindy and Jason,
We are praying for you and your precious little Jay. We have followed Jay's victories and challenges for the past two years. God knew the parents that little Jay would need when He gave this little boy to you. You have shown such courage and hope and faith...a witness to the angels and to us.
"Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves, rests between His shoulders." May you all rest between the shoulders of our Abba, Father tonight. I pray that you will hear His heartbeat and know His presence in a new and special way. I pray that if this is the time for Jay to go "home" that our Father will take him gently. And as always, I continue to pray that if it could please the Father, to leave Jay with us here and let him go to his earthly home with his family...where you've been wanting to take him. We are praying with you throughout the night. May God bless you and kiss your hearts in ways that we can not touch.

What would heaven be like without children? God loves children and sometimes He calls them home. We don't understand why, and it's painfully hard to accept. From before Jay was born, GOD knew His plan for his life. As Christians we have to believe that this is true and that GOD has always been in control of Jay's destiny. Jay may receive the ultimate reward tonight - to see the shining face of his Creator as He welcomes him home. If GOD does call little Jay home tonight, then He will be waiting for him on the other side. I pray for Jay's family, that the peace of GOD will be with you and that He will sustain you, whatever the morning brings. Your child has been a blessing to so many people and your faith throughout his journey has been an inspiration to us all.

I am avaliable to babysit along with others in my youth group or just to play with the kids someafternoon or we can do yard work etc.- no charge as my contribution to your family if you ever need one for Jay's brother and sister. I am 16 yrs old. Please contact me and let me know how me and my youth group can help. I know that they would jump at the oppertuninty

Lawrenceville, Ga - Thursday, March 30, 2006 1:33 PM CST

Jason and Cindy, I pull up Jay's web page daily, and sometimes more than once, to see the latest posting. The two of you have been such a blessing to so many of us as you have opened your hearts, and shared with us the journey you have traveled for the past two and a half years. As I write this, we are aware that Billy and Connie are on their way to Macon. We pray for God to give you grace, strength and wisdom. Most of all, we pray that He gives you perfect peace when the winds are blowing the fiercest and the waves raging the highest, in your most troubling hours. The battle is not yours, it is the Lord's.
You have been bought with a price; the blood of Jesus Christ. The Father owns you and all you possess, even the burdens that weigh so heavily upon you heart. Remembering that His strength is made perfect in your weakness, allow Him to carry both you and your burdens.
We have contacted our elders at FCC Albany, and started our Prayer Chain once more for you and Jay. Our hearts and prayers lift you up before the Lord.

Hey Gaskins-
Glad to hear such good news, hope the surgery went well. My grandnma also ended up having surgery today (Emergency) Heres some info.
This morning around 2am she had somesort of attack which we have now learned was indeed a small heartatack and we recieved a call from my grandad around 6am saying that she was in an ambulance headed to Emory in Atlanta. She is currently in the OR having a heart cath put in, she was scheduled to have some tests and get this done tommorow. She has apparently been having some heart problems that I was not told of or aware of. Please pray for me and my whole family this is my mom's mom and so my mom is currently up in atlanta with my grandparents. This a very heart wrecking and scary time for me as i know it is the rest of my family. We should know more in about an hour according to my dad

My 7 year old daughter's favorite saying when she is facing difficulties of any kind is - "With God on my side, I can do anything!" I remember hearing her whispering that to herself as she rode her bike for the first time. Jay, you and your family are an inspiration to me and show me just how true that faith is. May God continue to bless us all with your restored health.
