A Place For Jace

07/04/2025

I got word last night that Jace has been doing good. He was able to get some of his most favorite food. And he went swimming the other day! He's in need of more shorts to wear. And hopefully I'll get to go see him soon. Love and miss this sweet Boy.

Happy 4th of July, y'all! 🧨🎇🎆🤘😎

Talked to Jace again, he called me crying. He was inconsolable for almost an hour. We went over our lists, I named off family members that love and miss him, told him he had lots of Facebook friends praying for him. We also sang our favorite songs and when I started to cry he said don't cry and reminded me to take my deep breaths. He straight out said I want to come see you. So that right there tells me he misses me for real. I hope to be able to make him a photo book and send him some posters for his walls and send him the iron giant DVD. It was one of our favorites. I was able to get him to settle down some. Then he had to take medicine. Miss him so much, keep him in prayer. 💙🙌

Can't sleep, was scrolling through Snapchat memories and I see videos of me and the boys. I break down into tears. I hear Jace's voice, see his smile. Liam interacts with him in a care full way. Not careful, but care full. Full of care for his older brother with autism. He's always been careful with him tho, in ways Jace needed but this broke me down. I miss his voice, his loudness in the middle of the night, his no sleeping self. I miss the good, the bad, I miss him. He gave me purpose. Of course I know all my boys need me. But Jace was my better busier half. He motivated me every day. I'm told I'm strong and I did the right thing for him, but that doesn't make it hurt my heart any less. 4 am and I'm just sitting here on the corner of my bed crying for my baby who isn't here. I'm struggling right now without him. I'll be okay eventually but this is one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do. I'm feel worthless. We lost income. And I haven't worked in over 10+yrs taking care of Jace 24/7.. I'm low key scared to get out there. Anxious. Depressed. I just wanna stay in my room all day and sleep. I'm hoping to get out of this rut soon so that I can actually do something with Jace's room, if my mind and heart will allow it. I've got to find myself again. The badass me that I use to be. I miss her, too. For my birthday this July 1st, if anyone has it in their heart to help us get funds going to get Jace's room fixed up and maybe some travel funds so that I can try to see him for my birthday, that's all I want this year. I've got plenty of drywall pieces, I think, may need putty.. and more drywall screws. I'd also like to get more paint. And a projector for Jace so that when he does come home he doesn't break another tv. I'm wanting to make a space for him but suitable for both my boys. A fun space that they'll want to be in. A room full of sensory things. I'm also wanting to do the black light with glowy stuff. Idk.. we'll see. Keep me in prayer please as I go thru this tough time. I'm doing my best and right now that's all I can do. 💙🧩

My Jace 💙🙌

Jace has been in Texas for two weeks and started school this week. It's definitely been a change. I'm still having a hard time adjusting. I got to talk to him for the first time just the other day. I didn't wanna call and upset him, plus I didn't think I could do it. But we talked for a minute then both just cried and cried. Our call was cut short and I think that's for the best.
He got to pick out a bike to ride and did have an accident and scraped his arm. Poor baby, wish I was there to see all his accomplishments and hold his hand thru it all. But I know I have to let him progress without me or I won't get my own time to breathe. I can't even write this without a lump in my throat. I'll post a vid later. It's hard to talk about everything still. 😕

Love and Miss My Jace! 💙😭

Jace was in the police car ahead of this one. We're taking him to memorial hospital. He has been so aggressive and violent towards me, sometimes outta nowhere and for no reason. Unfortunately, we had to make the call. I'm so exhausted. 😮‍💨 He punched, hit, kicked, bit and spit on me. And pulled my mom's hair. 😕 He's alright now that he's here but at home it's a whole different thing. The place that was supposed to be taking him in is waiting for a SCA (Single Case agreement) to go through. That's where insurance picks up out of state services. We were supposed to have taken him in last Monday but couldn't. Hopefully they get it to go through so that we can get him the help he needs and I can get a little rest and relief. Please continue to pray for us. 🙏😞💜🙌
