Milo is back.....and more awesome than ever!

It's been awhile since we have blogged.....but with the passing of our beloved Granny Janny it is time to keep everyone updated on the Milo Man.  She wouldn't have it any other way.  Since she is no longer with us to forward on all of Milo's amazing pictures and videos, we will just have to be more diligent with the blog!  The past months have been full of new amazement and milestones, but rather than reflect and catch everyone up, we will start from the present.  

This smile has helped my family through the hardest time we have ever had to deal with.  Milo is the biggest little blessing ever.  

Just when I thought I had seen her capacity for love, she showed me that the love a grandparent has for their baby’s baby is one of the biggest loves of them all. As many of you know, Milo was her pride and joy. It breaks my heart that she won’t be there on his first Christmas or birthday, that she won’t be able to hear him say Granny Janny, and that she won’t be able to spoil him with love like she spoiled me for the past 31 years. I guess it was just not meant to be.

Mom, I promise you that Milo will know you as his adoring Granny Janny.....I will speak of you fondly and take him to visit you often. I will tell him of his smitten Granny who sang to him every day that he was in the NICU and who smothered him with love the second he came home. Who snuggled him and read to him, and sent Pappa John out to get toys and balloons even in the final stages. I will tell him of your patience, courage and strength as you fought so hard. I will show him your pictures often and read him your letter. You will be his hero and his inspiration.


I have comfort in knowing that in my mom’s passing, my son now has the most loving and beautiful guardian angel watching over him. Mom, we love you with all our hearts and you will always be with us.  - Jaime
