Happiness is a form of courage

This quote by Holbrook Jackson describes Jude perfectly. I'm amazed at how happy and courageous he is. This picture was taken on April 17th very shortly after I brought him home from the ER. He just broke and badly cut his thumb (a wheel barrow that was leaning against the house fell on his finger) and received 5 stitches. He did so well in the ER while being X-rayed and stitched up, I think I was crying more than he was. I'm also inspired at how strong he is and quick to adapt. He is left handed and easily switched to eating with his right hand, and is carrying on almost as if nothing happened.

  1. It is amazing how little kids can forget so fast and move on. I hope his finger heal quickly.
