Four months ago today… a moment that changed everything.
That phone notification still plays over and over in my mind — “Jaylyn was just involved in a minor crash.” A message no mother ever wants to read, and one I wish I could unread a thousand times. What we thought was something small became a journey we never imagined we’d be on.
These past 4 months have been filled with ups, downs, twists, turns, and emotions I never knew existed. This Thanksgiving holiday was especially hard to celebrate. Our family traditions of cutting down the tree, riding ATVs, laughing, and just being together simply didn’t happen this year. The reality of that hit us in a deep way.
This is one holiday season of celebration that will have to wait until next year, under our circumstances. But one day, I truly believe we’ll return to those moments — and they will mean even more than they did before.
I just want to laugh with her again… to hear her voice call me four times a day just to tell me about her work day, her plans, her life. I miss those simple things more than words can say.
Deep in my heart, I know one day those things will happen again. One day I’ll hear her laugh, see her smile, and listen to her talk about her dreams. But for now, she needs to rest — she needs this time for her brain to heal in its own way, in its own time.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers. We are holding on to faith, to hope, and to the belief that better days are coming.
Keep Fighting Baby Girl! 🎀 #JaylynStrong
