Today we had the honor of meeting Weston and his parents. Weston has Recessive Dystrophic EB. You can find out more about how we became friends with Weston here, but the most important part is this: Weston gave us hope when we didn't have much. When all the doctors were telling us how bad it was, Weston's mom, Dana, sent us pictures of Weston LIVING - bowling, playing ping pong, hanging out with friends. It was exactly what we all needed - optimism, life, hope for Jonah's future. Weston is up here for some dental work (from Texas!), and they traveled from Chapel Hill today just to see us! We went out to Sagebrush for lunch, and then Weston, his parents, my mom, and Shaina all went bowling. Weston and Shaina are the same age, and Shaina has become friends with both Weston and Dana since Jonah's birth. We're so happy to have met Weston, and will never, ever forget the great gift he gave us in a time of hopelessness.Thanks, Weston. Come back soon!

Awesome!
I think it's also awesome that your sister's name is Shaina... there aren't many of us out there!
Thanks to Weston and his family for sharing their story and providing support for sweet Jonah and his family. I know it had to be great for them to finally meet you! Thanks for letting us (blogreaders) meet you too!!
We'll continue to pray for both families!!
what a miracle. Good bless Weston and Jonah.
Weston is a God send. He is an inspiration to many.
Gosh, that is so great! I am so glad y'all have that relationship!
Two beautiful blonde haired boys! Both strong and inspiring.
So glad you got to meet them! It has to be encouraging to see some light at the end of the tunnel!!
That is so, so awesome! What an answer to prayer!
That's so nice that you all got to meet him and that his family gave you so much hope!
M&P, This is AWESOME! How exciting to get to meet Weston and his family, to be given another gift of hope. I can't wait to hear more about it.
Love,

That is SO cool!
Yeah, Weston! What a champ. You are SO HANDSOME! Thanks for giving hope to others. You make me smile. Patrice makes me smile too (when she is not making me cry!). My husband would say I just cry easy! So glad you all got to meet and to connect in a face to face manner. May this lead to MANY years of friendship! Jennifer in Southeast, NC
What a gift. Hope is such a wonderful blessing. What a great story. Thanks for sharing.
How neat! I met Dana online awhile ago and we live in the same town. I actually ran into her at Target one day. She gave me your blog address the other day, and I was just checking in and saw this post. That is so awesome! What a small world it is!
Wow - I'm so thrilled for all of you. Weston is obviously an amazing kid, and well, you know how I feel about Jonah! So glad you were able to meet!
Weston and Dana- my family and I live in McKinney - just wanted to let you know that other Texans love you, too!
Jonah - I am so excited to see what God is going to do in your life, and all the things you'll be doing when you're Weston's age!
Love and prayers to all of you!

I love this story! God gives us what (or who) we need, just when we need them! Those are two amazing boys!
That is awesome! So glad ya'll found each other!
How special to have met Weston! I live in Kansas and read your blog daily. Jonah is touching so many people in so many ways. He is such a cutie and may I say that you don't look like you had a baby recently! And... I too suffer from the same addiction as you....I am a Targetholic. Maybe we can have a support group...I know, let's meet at Target by the dollar bins!
Weston truly is a hero! And an adorable one at that. Him and Jonah both have so much hope to bring to the world...thanks for sharing your visit with us all!
How great for all of you! Love the group photo! Smiles all the way around!
I love the picture of Weston & Jonah together. So glad that you got to meet in person and spend some time together.
Yay! I am so glad you were able to meet up with this family:)
Any luck with the laundry?
