About my family continued...

Now let me introduce you to Jarrod...

My first born son - 7 Years old... Jarrod Jude... We call him JJ.

When I was 20 weeks pregnant and could know the sex of my baby, I immediately wanted to know... I so desperately wanted a boy. I was over the moon on my way home from the doc.. yip a boy it was...

Jarrod was a big baby and was born by c-section, on the 2 January 2001. Gorgeous from the get go and still a looker today ( as his mom, I suppose that is a biased opinion), Pitch black hair and dark eyes - square set jaw...sturdy shoulders, he;s gonna grow big and tall, like his paternal grandpa. A single dimple on his left cheek and a slight cleft, just under his chin... I was blessed to be able to spend 2 and a half years at home with him, he grew up so quickly.



Now he is a talented young boy - with the world at his feet... so independent and eager to get out there - sometimes I feel as if he doesn't need his mummy any longer... but in my heart I know that I am needed - I will be the one he turns to with a grazed knee - and one day... a broken heart. JJ is a free spirit, an uninhibited child and a little naughty bugger at times. In his own words " I am the big baby and Joshua is your small baby". My boy, you are right - you will always be my baby, 7, 12 or 21 - my big baby...

St. Jude always intercede for Jarrod to our Lord Jesus
Patron saint of hopeless cases. Pray for us

Be blessed.... Ruby
