I am a child of God and I have gone ahead. My earthly life was brief but oh, such peace and love you gave. You loved me, held me, stood beside me and though I cannot stay. You gave me much to help me and I live with Him today.
I am a child of God and I will wait for you. Celestial glory shall be ours, if you can but endure. I'll lead you, guide you, walk beside you.Help you find the way. I'll welcome you with open arms One bright Celestial day.
Daddy, I am OK- acutally better than OK, much, much better. Daddy, I love you...thanks for always worrying what would be best for me.
Teag..thanks for always having my back....now I got yours. Love you bro! "ahwa-too"
And to the rest of my family.....you are simply the best! Heavenly Father was spot on when He sent me to you....you DID love me that much and He DID trust you with something that big. Cant wait til we are all together forever!!!
To my blog buddies...today, sing loud and sing proud...and then mark your calendars for Feb 8 my birthday....do something extrodinarly amazing that day. Dont care what it is you choose, but do it for me. Ya know, if we all do a little somethin' it CAN change the world....I mean look at me.........here you are reading, laughing, crying..... and hopefully pondering what life really is all about...somedays, it just doesnt make any sense.....but that is what we came to earth for....to work it out between our minds and our hearts and make it, make sense. OK, OK so some of you are going "ya, right"....well, to you I say.......why does it feel so good to do good, if good is not real??? Can you do good with a frown? If I learned one thing........we could not change what was to happen...but we LIVED and we had LOVE (oh, did we have LOVE).... and embraced life- even while life was quietly stealing from me.
It is hard to describe where I am...but I will try...For the last 24-36 hours things have been BAD. I have been choking and gagging and puking pretty much non stop and then I started crying (which I have not done in months). Mommy could tell I was pretty miserable. This awesome nurse Amy came over and we increased the pain meds by a ton....Whew! I am resting much, much better. The doctor decided that the feedings are hurting me more than helping me........ and my body is in the process of shutting down.
This is a weird place to be in and it is so difficult to put to words but....Mommy, she is the bomb, the best and my ALL.... I love you so much mommy. It pains me to leave HER. But I also have this quiet inner peace that says this will be OK....this is part of life and because it could not be fair, Heavenly Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ. Oh how I love them too! My family is around and I am truly, completely loved. And then there is the angels that are with me...its incredible, indescribable and amazing. I feel so full of love....like in the movie "Ghost" when Patrick Swazye says "its incredible...you take all the love with you"...I feel that right now...its soo true.
Its incredible, amazing and indescribable....but listen to your heart...you can feel it (well, most of it) .....it is overwhelming and breathtaking!
I love you mommy.......forever, its a promise! Thanks for being my superhero and for being there for EVERY moment.
Just love...purest love....forever love,
Yours ALWAYS,
Bosty

Some days I am "bluer than blue" and others pink. Weird, I know. Somedays, Margaret, my hospice nurse says I am looking better and sounding worse then taaa-ddaaah the next I am looking worse and sounding better. Weird, I know.
I cant ditch the vomit comet but mommy is trying to trick him. It is so exhausting to cough so hard you vomit........YUCK!
Hey, my two top teeth are budding beautifully and soon I will be sporting two top teeth. COOL?? I know!
I am living with Nanny and Poppa. I like it, I get held a lot... Auntie Mel..Auntie Lucy, Nanny, Poppa and then we start all over again. SWEET!
My mommy was a superhero moving....She has incredible strength and she can work like 90 hours in a day (I know amazing, huh?) She can run around from room to room gathering away in a furry and then "POOF!" boxes instantly are filled- Incredibly awesome! Mommy - the new superhero NOT in diapers (remember I am the superhero in diapers....please people keep up on your information!)
I went to church yesterday...and I may have to rethink the whole Relief Society thing...they had tons of chocolate. I hear you cant even teach a lesson with out chocolate. NICE! Mommy even gave me a couple of morsels of that stuff...liquid gold, people, liquid gold! This lady taught the lesson on how we know Heavenly Father....I like her....Poppa and her dad are buddies. Guess its against "those rules" for a dude to interupt Relief Society and make a comment so I kept my mouth shut....BUT..... how do I know Heavenly Father??????....well, He gave me Mommy and He gave me my family and He gives me peace, love and assurance ever second of everyday....even when I am scared.....I trust Him because I know He loves me....oh ya, and He made sure we have lots and LOTS of chocolate....
Sloppy wet kisses (that sorta reassemble slobber- but in my case not),

Honestly, I am tired, worn out tired. to the bone tired. beyond tired. Rambo tired. Rocky tired. but all I have to do is see Mommy's sweet smiling face and its all worth it.....I wouldn't trade a moment with her for one second of "regular breathing"......well, OK, maybe one second...but then again, maybe not....I love Mommy more than anything-even breathing regular. And mommy, she loves me that much too. Funny how love can change so much and yet change nothing at all.....mommy loves me that much. If love could have changed this....mommy's love was all I needed...I love you that much too mommy!

I feel better than I have in two months. I even LOOK better- Color (pink) in my cheeks and I am wide-eyed, full on awake. Hmmm....the hospice nurse said "hmmmmm".
So Mommy gave me a bath (yuck! I hate baths!) and buzzed my crazy head of hair to a nice little fuzz ball. "Awww, so cute!", cut my nails- she shined me up good!!!
The genetics gals called...said they found something and wanted to talk to mommy (this day just got weirder and weirder). The brain doc said they found nothing, now this doc says they did....Do you think they are lying to mommy just so they can see me......I hear lying is something they do with all the big celebrities to get a glimpse of them :-) .......I COULD tell you that they were both girls and us guys, we KNOW women....well, we really dont (they are a bigger mystery than me!) , no one does and lives to tell about it, but...well, you get the picture.
Must of been a full moon or something......cause Tuesdays are suppose to be a "plainly normal" day...not the beginning of the week and certainly not close enough to the end of the week to begin the weekend celebrations....its just "tuesday" and there could not be a more "plain and normal" word in the dictionary.
Love, Bosty
PS Have you seen mommys new hair.....GRRRRRRRR! (roll the tongue when you say that!)

A Cousins Love Letter...

Letter from my Grandma and Grandpa Jensen
Hey Boston.....
What's up, bud ? I hear you've been having some bad
days, lately. I hear you don't even make much of a fuss.
What a trooper!Just like your Mom and Dad. Don't feel
bad about "vomit comet", "poop rocket"or "stink breath"
in a little while you will be in a special place
Where "vomit comet" and "poop rocket" and "ole stink
breath" Will be all gone,and you will be feeling
grgrgrgrrrrreat!We were sure glad to see you at
Thanksgiving. Dad had to carry you in'cause you
are one big boy.'I think daddy is just a little
jealous of mommy.Holding you has given her a nice
set of muscles.
We all had a great time on Turkey Day at Aunt
Karens house. You are the best listener.
I hope we didn't talk your head off. After your
cousins hung around you, then came Aunt Sandy,
Aunt Bambi, Aunt Maria, Aunt Kristin,Aunt Karen
and Aunt Carrissa and me. Of course that didn't
include your Uncle's who wanted to gab with you
too, like Joel,Jason, Jeremiah, Justin,and Joseph
....phew....What a Family.We all just wanted to
be with you. No wonder you went to sleep.We plum
tuckered you out!
Then you came to the infamous 'Jensen Christmas Party'
at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Joel's house. Your Dad
and Mom told us that you weren't feeling well.
We were so sorry to hear that, but we could not
have had the party earlier then we did because
Uncle Jon, Aunt Christa and Xander and Kaysha
live in Arizona. So the party had to be two days
before Christmas.
We were soooooo lucky to get Santa to come two
days before his busy day.It would have been a
disaster for you and your cousins if Santa could
not make it. Everyone would have been so sad.
Well, disaster averted,thanks to the sweet-talking
of Aunt Karen. She has a way with words (and a camera).
...Anyways.....You sat on Santa's lap and were so
super. No vomit comet,no poop rocket,and no ole stinky
breath, either.......You made us proud!Dad and Mom
took you home early 'cause you were coughing.
We understand Lil Bosty.
Grandpa and I saw you on Thursday (Dec.31st),
but you were not feeling well. I sat and held you
as I listened to your mom tell me the latest news
and how little sleep she has been getting.
Poor Mommy, not wanting to miss one moment with you.
I remembered the first time, last summer, you
stayed with us so your mom could have some sleep.
Your first sleepover with us. Your mom warned us
that you may not sleep all night. I put you in
the middle of McKayla's bed.I found a music box,
turned the key and placed it near you on the bed.
Since I knew you were losing your hearing, I felt
you could maybe, just maybe feel the vibration.
I don't know if you felt or heard it but On
whichever side I put the music box, your head
would turn that way. It happened about two to three
times. I must have checked in on you several times
that night rewinding that box, every so often.
You really liked that music box.
You slept a good seven hours that night.
I remembered too, that When Grandpa and I
babysat you and Teagan, to give your parents some
alone time, I would hold you on the couch but
it always took Grandpa to take you when I wanted
to get up. He would sit with you in his rocker,
rocking away. You are such a butter ball.
Ok......I know that butter has nothing to do
with it. But you are a Chunk..............HUNK!
It makes me sad to see how much you are
struggling to breath now. It makes Grandpa sad, too.
I think the reason grandpa didn't hold you
when we were at your house was because he was
afraid that he would cause you more pain.
Grandpa is a softy at heart. Always was and
always will be!
Boston what a blessing you are to us.
We are so excited! Soon you will be with
Heavenly Father once again! What joy! Tell Him
"Hi" from the Jensen Clan and tell Him we are
trying our best so that we may return, too.
We Love you, Bosty!

Seriously, I cant say enough about mommy....She has been there 125% day in day out, endless nights, LONG days and endless laundry from the vomit comet. I just feel so blessed to have her as MY mommy..I heart her sooooo much! MUAH MUAH! and "AWWA TOO" (as Teag says).
After mommy.....of course, Daddy and Teag.... my "tough" guys. My family......they have "been there, done that" the entire game....you know who you are - it has meant EVERYTHING to me!
Love you all,
Bosty

And guess what??? I woke up for a few hours to hang with my popa. It was way cool....then I pooped and "ole stink breath" had a side kick (just like Batman has Robin). I don't think the vomit comet will be showing up around these parts any longer...I think we scared him off in a big way :-)
I think I slept through the new years....OOPS! They say you should make a goal for the new year.....what should be my goal????? I have decided that everyday I am going to wake up thankful...well, thankful that I woke up....... and saw my amazing, incredible mommy- thankful for my family, thankful for My Father in Heaven and His plan and thankful for Jesus....He is amazing (want me to go on with all we should/could be thankful for?) And I am also going to be happy. (yep, you saw it correctly HAPPY. (period)....meaning nothing more, just happy. Somedays we just make it too complicated....people, be happy, be/do the best you can for that moment....and............. move on! I mean really, I could dwell on the fact that I shot a "poop rocket" at nurse Chris (hey, it was THEIR idea to try the M&M enema..if they had ASKED me I would have tried to warn them (well maybe I would have warned them))....but, it was just one of "those things"....It happens- laugh a little, cringe a little, say you will try to be better next time...and move on....dont worry in a day or two you will likely do something even dumber...I did...two days after the poop rocket I unleashed the vomit comet ALL OVER a nurse and nanny....i think nanny decided to forget about the dinner she just brought in. I wonder why?????????
Love,
Bosty
