From my beautiful niece Nikki...I love it when people tell me what they love and remember about Jonah.

Things I love about sweet Jonah:

  • His sweet innocent smile

  • His stinky face (:
  • When he would sneeze at dinner, we would laugh and get the nastiest looks from him
  • His dimples
  • He always made me laugh
  • How he taught me to look at my life so differently
  • He was always smiling or laughing at something
  • When he would flick his bottle off his teeth to make it squirt
  • How he would stare at perfect strangers until they had to become close friends.
  • He could always tell when something was wrong..so he would come cuddle
  • His imperfect body but perfect tiny little spirit

  • Even though his physical body wasn't perfect, in my eyes..He was more than perfect.

  • Jordan called him "Floody" when he was in Julie's stomach (:
  • In the hospital the day he was born, Lynzie said "Mommy, Heavenly Father makes everyone different"
  • He is everything to me. My whole world.
  • I love that when we were in the hospital the day he died Julia looked down and sang, with tears running down her cheeks "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy. when skies are grey, You'll never know dear, how much i love you, please don't take my sunshine away"
  • I love that we sang primary songs to him the day he died.

I loved this sweet boy with all of my heart. he was my whole world and i would have done anything for him. i was so so so proud to have him in my life and i don't know what i would do without being a part of my life. i feel like the luckiest person alive to have been such a big part of his life. I am so blessed that i was able to see him every Sunday night. I am so blessed that i got to see him all the time. I feel like the luckiest person alive that i got to spend so much time with that little sweet heart. He will forever be in my heart. I love my sweet Jonah Ramsey Hall. I know now what love is because i had so much of it for that sweet little boy.
