Journal entry by Ashley Selby-Karney —
Life has really just been a wild ride this year!
I can’t believe its been three months without my precious, full of life, funny, loving, caring, compassionate son! I miss him every single day. It’s weird doing everything for just myself. I miss cooking us dinner, taking him to baseball practice, and emailing teachers! I would take anything to have all of this back, but I know Jayden would never come back. Heaven is too wonderful, too free, too joyous, I wouldn’t want to come back either!
Jayden was there to welcome my dad, who passed April 7, 2024 at 8:22am. It’s been two weeks without my dad, and I am overwhelmed by grief often. I wasn’t anywhere near ready to grieve my dad too…my son was a lot in itself! Cancer, and the complications of cancer can go to hell! Jayden and my dad won! The battle was not theirs but the Lord’s, and He has them now in His arms. The man who gave me life and the young man I gave life to next to Jesus, I wonder what surprises they will have for me?!!
Since my last post Jayden continues to impact lives! Sports teams have honor him, his friends have done various things in his honor, sermons are being preached and people are being touched! I often get texts of how Jayden has inspired people to do hard things, with a smile! His love and passion for life and Jesus definitely gives me the desire to keep running my race as hard as I can!
Thank you for the continual love and prayers sent my way and my family’s way! 🫶🏼 Stay tuned for what I am working on for this summer! Hoping to have a release date of 7/17/2024! 💛
