We all know the Jarvis family. They are some of the most selfless people I’ve ever met. The last year has been filled with a diagnosis that no one ever wants to hear, on top of everything they have already been dealt. We all know Joe and Lori would never ask for anything.. that’s just who they are. We all agreed we would start with a meal train to lighten the load a bit on them. Update 10/13/2025: As I'm sure you can imagine the last two days have been very trying for my girls and I. We all fell stuck; not wanting to move forward and not able to go back. Yesterday, was a day in shock. This whole situation seemed unreal, almost like it was in the distance. Today the feeling is much sharper. Each of us feels the sting of Lori (mommy) not being with us. Our morning checks didnt happened, reminders not said, encouragement was there, but somehow they seemed hollow to say and to hear. My girls, I believe for my sake, put on there best faces this morning; all 3 volunteered to try school today. With the understanding I was a call and short drive away. By 1pm. I had picked all 3 up an took them home. All they could vocalize to me is they were tired and they missed there mother. I, by some miracle, was able to make each one smile and settle down. I am a comfort, among other things. But I'm not the fix, lori was always able and willing to be that for them or anyone! It's such a cliche for a husband and father to say; "it should have been me"; but I understand now why its always been the catchphrase. Fathers and husbands are providers, mothers and wife are the creators. They make the homes, they give strength, and create peace with harmony. Thats what my girls are missing and searching for right now. Thats why today is so sharp compared to yesterday. We all woke up this morning, and it really wasn't a dream. We have to create the peace ourselves now. I want to thank you all for your support, each of us is lost right now and trying to find our way back to normal. The little things that make life move and work, like cooking a meal, or running a kid to practice, or hitting the store for milk seem so small. But its those small things that take our focus away from eachother and from healing. Every little bit helps!! Thank you!! -Joe
