I am truly heartbroken and at a loss for words. My heart is certainly aching like never before. Our precious Jaxton is now with Jesus. I don’t have a lot to say as I am still processing my son no longer being here with us.
We’d like every one to know how appreciative we are to have had the prayers and fasting for Jaxton’s healing.
The funeral will be held this Saturday, March 12th at 11am. The visitation will be at 10am at Randall and Roberts in Fishers / 12010 Allisonville Road, Fishers, IN 46038
We know Jaxton has touched a lot of peoples lives and the visitation and funeral are open to all who would like to attend.
14 days!
Family of 4.
Last bath.

Last cuddles.
At 7:35pm (his birth time) on Wednesday March 9th we pulled the ventilator tube to have Jaxton breath on his own. Unfortunately, exactly 30 minutes later his heart had it’s last beat.
We are living our story and Counting Our Blessings...
When I Count My Blessings...

Oh dear Lisa my heart aches for you. I know nothing anyone says or does will make any of this time easier. I am truly sorry for your loss. We are praying for your precious family and hearts. Your precious, beautiful and miracle baby will never be forgotten. Aching for your heart and praying for your spirit….love you and thinking of you….
Posted by Michelle Bradley (Aunt Mimi) on March 10, 2011 at 8:51 pm
Lisa Im seriously trying to hold it together in front of the kiddos right now but all I want to do is cry and holding it together is not really working. I wish for even just a moment I could take your intense pain you are feeling right now. Your my best friend and sister and to know you are hurting absolutely kills me. The last picture of little Jaxton is absolutely beautiful without all of his tubes you can see his cute lil face. I am devastated I didnt get to cuddle him and love on him but I kinda feel like his name “Oliver” he has a little piece of me and its special. Praying for you night and day. xoxo
Posted by Kristi on March 10, 2011 at 8:53 pm
There are no words that I can type that will bring you comfort or peace. Only in your relationship with Jesus will you find that. Rest in Him, lean not on your own understanding. You are so very loved.

There are no words that can truly say how my heart aches for your beautiful family! I believe that you are and exceptional couple and that will help you to get through this very difficult time by leaning on each other as well as your faith…If Jaxton had to leave the loving arms of his mom, dad and brother for a little while, he is in the best hands he could possibly be in until he is at home with his family again.
You have all dramatically changed my outlook on my own life and my family and for that I can never thank you enough.
God Bless!
Posted by Bianca Pickard on March 10, 2011 at 9:04 pm

You don’t have to be strong… you just have to let JESUS hold you now, while you process this moment…

As I read the latest update, I looked out the window and saw a rainbow. It reminded me how awesome our God is and the beauty in all things He creates. Your son is with our Lord, no doubt. Reading your updates, I would cry for Jaxton, but mostly I would cry for the amount of FAITH you guys had. Your family has touched so many people’s lives, mine included. I pray for peace and comfort.

I’ve been reading your blog for two weeks. The first picture I saw of Jaxton, I thought he was absolutely breathtaking. I feel the same way about the last picture. I wish I could describe the pain I feel for you and how my heart has been changed by your family. I will never forget Jaxton. I’m in Michigan but will have family in Anderson, IN this fall. But even if we never meet, I’m hugging you from afar and loving your very special family. Thank you, for sharing your joy and your pain and your FAITH with me! I truly hope that faith brings you light in the darkness. ((HUGS!))

I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you all, but I’ve been watching Jaxton’s story and praying for his little body. I’m so incredibly sorry he didn’t get to stay with you here. I will continue to pray for you guys as you have questions from his brother and life continues here on earth. Jaxton will not be on my list of people I look forward to meeting in Heaven! 😉 God bless you

Husmann’s!
Praying for all of you during this very difficult time. The song from Casting Crowns has been coming to my mind and here are some of the lyrics:
I was sure by now. That You would have reached down. And wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day. But once agian I say, Amen and it’s still raining.
As the thunder rolls, I barely hear your whisper through the rain, “I’m with you.” And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands. And praise the God who gives and takes away.
And I’ll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands. For you are who You are no matter where I am. And every tear I’ve crid You hold in Your hand. You never left my side and though my heart is torn. I will praise You in this storm!
We will continue to lift you and your family up now and in the days ahead!
Hugs from Kalamazoo, Michigan!

I do not know you, but I found your blog from a facebook group that I belong to called Hope Mommies. I just wanted to say how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Those words seem so minimal, but they’ve all I’ve got. You will be in my prayers for the Lord to hold you and carry you through these days, weeks and months ahead. My heart literally hurts for you tonight.

God Bless your family. Praying for peace and understanding during this sad time. You have touched so many people…way more than you will ever know. I thought about you all last night and all day today waiting somewhat patiently for an update on a miracle. The miracle you did not recieve, but the miracle that Jaxton did! He is whole,happy,and in no pain. The last cuddles picture is beautiful…what a handsome son you have. Praying for God’s grace over your entire family and your new Precious Guardian Angel.
Posted by Amanda on March 10, 2011 at 10:00 pm
I am so very sorry for your loss, and I know that you have a lot to process right now. Just know that you are not alone and that God will give you the strength to get through these next few days. There are really no words that can be said to make you feel better, but just knowing that Jaxton is at peace and in the most wonderful place can help you get through too..I am here if you need anything, but in the meantime I am praying for you as you begin this journey of learning to live without one of your children.

Dear Lisa, Josh, and Family
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking and hurts badly that Jaxton will not continue his journey here on Earth. Although I am reassured through faith in our Lord that Jaxton is resting peacefully in heaven. He changed hundreds of lives before he was born, thousands of lives in his 14 days on Earth, and will change millions as he watches over us from above. I will continue to pray for you everyday. I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful son with me and it was an absolute pleasure to get to know your family. Your faithfulness and love are amazing and something to be admired.
And to baby Jaxton RIP little guy. How blessed I feel to have taken care of you. I pray you rest warm and snug with the Lord where breathing is an ease and pain is unimaginable. I hope I see you in Heaven one day, sweet boy!
Posted by April on March 10, 2011 at 10:16 pm
Lisa, I am praying that our Jesus is holding you so tight that you can literally feel him squeeze you. I am heartbroken for you and I am honored to have loved and prayed for your precious angel boy. I so wish I could be there on Saturday to honor and celebrate Jaxton’s life. Such a short life, but such a BIG LIFE that sweet boy lived. You are such an amazing mommy and Jaxton could feel your love for him every single day. I will not stop praying for you, sweet friend. All my love in Christ!

I am so so sorry for your loss. My mama heart breaks with yours knowing all that you are experiencing now Lisa, physically in your body and emotionally. (My Samuel is in Heaven with your Jaxton now… I often wonder of the welcoming those little ones get when they arrive in Heaven… were lots of other little ones there when Jaxton arrived??) I want to you to know that I will be praying for you in the moments, days, weeks, and months ahead… this grief journey is long and difficult… there is a longing for Heaven like never before… Feel all that you need to feel. You grieve deeply because you love Jaxton so deeply. There is so much on my heart as I think of all that you are experiencing. Please know you are loved and prayed for by many! May you always remember how much our Savior loves you,even when it may not feel like it. He is always with you, even when He may seem somewhat silent… and He WILL carry you and sustain you through this all! I have been blessed by your witness and the precious life of your sweet little Jaxton… what a little warrior for our KING! Loving and praying for you all from Oklahoma…

Thank you for sharing your joys and sorrows with complete strangers. Your entries have been an inspirational and educational on so many levels. No one can own the feelings, thoughts and emotions you have because they are yours and you are entitled to them whether bad or good. Please know that your blog is a testament to your grace and eloquence and I do not feel that I speak alone when I say that your story has reminded me on a daily basis that things aren’t always as bad as they seem and that someone is always going through something much worse and having to deal with much bigger issues. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Be grateful for the 2 weeks of time you had with Jaxton because it allowed you to have a lifetime of memories and love. Peace be with you.

Josh and Lisa I heard your story through Julie, I can understand your pain and know what you are going through because my little one is also with Jesus. I know that God is with you and that he will see you through this. It is the worst pain imaginable to lose a child, but God is there holding your hands. Only he knows the reasons why these things happen. Keep your faith and be there for each other. I am praying for your family.

I heard last night that Jaxtob got to be with Jesus and I wept. And as I read this post tonight, I wept again. Even though I don’t know you, I feel so broken for you. You have been in my prayers constantly over the last few days and will continue to be as you walk the long road ahead.

My heart breaks for you all. I am so very sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Jaxton has made a HUGE impact in his 2 weeks with you. He was brought here for a reason and soon you will see it!

To the Sweet Husmann family…. I’m so
sorry for your loss. I grieve with you but rejoice knowing Baby Jaxton is whole and safe in his fathers arms. From life to death to life again. The loss of Baby Jaxton was heavens gain! Baby Jaxton was truly an angel flying to close to the ground. I know God will bring you peace and comfort in your time of need. I have faith that God will wrap his arms around you and your family and will carry you
through this. Know that in Jaxton’s short life, he brought more Glory to God than most of us do in a lifetime. We may not understand why, or get the BIG picture behind Gods plan, but in time it will be revealed. You have really amazed me with your strong faith throughout your pregnancy and even after delivery. You have been a true witness to me and shown me how true faith works. I will continue to pray for the Love of Christ to surround you ALL and lift you up. Jaxton was truly a BLESSING and there’s no words to express how much you inspire me. Your strength was a testimony within itself. Thank you so much for sharing Baby Jaxton with all of us and allowing us to follow you on this incredibly courageous journey of faith. Praying Psalms 147:3 for you and your sweet family: “He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.” Much love to you and your family.

Came across this Psalm tonight.
Psalm 71
2 In your righteousness, RESCUE ME and deliver me;
TURN YOUR EAR TO ME and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress…
14 As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more…
19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,
you who have done great things.
Who is like you, God?
20 THOUGH YOU HAVE MADE ME SEE TROUBLES,
MANY AND BITTER,
YOU WILL RESTORE MY LIFE AGAIN;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
21 You will increase my honor
and comfort me once more.
22 I will praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
Praying tonight for Him to give you the strength to not only function but to thrive and to know that He KNOWS you can’t handle this and never wanted this and only want your baby. And that He even mourns with us and feels and knows every SIGH that we have (Ps. 38:9). Nothing escapes Him. Praying for you to really experience Him in this dance between the darkest time of your lives and the closest you’ve ever been with the Lord. He is near to the brokenhearted (Ps. 34:18).
Posted by Angela Linzay on March 11, 2011 at 1:04 am
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My heart is aching for you guys! Right now, Jaxton is in the arms of His loving Savior with a brand new body. No breathing tubes, nothing! God did heal him… He just chose not to do it here. I’ve learned so much through this journey with you. I think one of the most important things that I’ve come to realize through your story and many others is that our kids are loans from God. They are not ours. We have them for a time and when God wants them home, he calls them to Him…however long or short we have them. They fulfill his purpose. As I was reading all the comments on your blog I see that hearts and lives were touched and even those who were not religious or did not know God were inspired by your little man and praying fervently for him. I know it’s hard to think that your son had to be the sacrifice of drawing people closer to God but that was His plan all along. I know that this doesn’t make it easier and that you’ve never realized that you could (as my pastor would say) “hurt so much and still be alive” but you and Josh have truly been an example of selfless love. You gave Jaxton a chance, even though you knew what the odds were… even after you knew it would cause your heart to break. I know you have a new journey of healing ahead of you. I will continue to pray for you and Josh and that God will guide and carry you through this difficult time.
“Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel, you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth.Even to your old age and grey hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”
Is. 46:1-3
I love this song

That last photo of you and sweet Jaxton is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a precious, heartbreaking, unspeakable picture.
I love you Lisa and I am holding you so near to my heart as I continue to pray for you day and night.

The words I write will never convey the sorrow I feel in my heart for your loss. I am honored that you shared your son with us. I am so sorry. So very, very sorry. You are all in my prayers.

Oh sweet Jaxton, was a beautiful, beautiful boy. “When death like a gypsy comes to steal what I love, I will still look to the heavens, I will still seek His face. I will sing of your mercy that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy.” The Valley Song by Jars of Clay. Thank you for sharing your sweet boy with all of us. God bless you, my prayers are with you.

What to say at a time like this?!?! We have never met but Michelle Bradley and I have been freinds for years and I am so blessed and glad that she brought you into and your family into my life. I want you to know that aside from being a hot mess, I do feel truly blessed to have read your story. My heart hurts for you and I can’t imagine nor do I ever want to imagine going through the loss of a child. I pray that God gives you not only a sense of peace during this time but also a sense of reason. Some things we aren’t meant to fully understand and I get that, but I pray this is not one of those things. I know Jaxton is in heaven, healthy and completely whole once again and for that I am happy but I wish his “mission” on Earth would have been a bit longer. Crazy to know that God knows what he is doing even when we want something so much different. What an angel you were blessed with and now heaven is a little bit better because your angel is there waiting for you all. I will always remember this story and thank you so much for letting 1000’s of people hear it! Much love, many thoughts, and prayers for God’s humble grace upon all of you!
Hugs and love from Southern California ❤

Josh and Lisa, my heart breaks for you. I have been following your blog on a daily basis since I heard about Jaxton’s birth. We are members of PFB and we love you guys. We have been praying for you guys and for Jaxton’s miracle. I am so sorry that it didn’t happen here on earth. God has bigger and better plans for your son. Cherish the precious moments you had with him. He was a beautiful child that touched many lives. I can’t even imagine what u r going through right now. Our son spent 7 weeks in the NICU and we almost lost him on several occasions, but God spared his precious life. It was a very trying time but definitely brought us closer to Him. Hold on to Christ as he is holding on to you right now. Praying that u will be comforted and feel His arms of love wrapped around u. You guys are amazing people helping to change our world for Christ. I pray u will find peace in knowing that u will get to spend eternity with sweet Jaxton. Thank you for sharing him withall of us. The world us definitely a brighter place because of the time he was here on earth. We love you guys.

Lisa & Josh,
We haven’t the opportunity to meet but I feel as if I know you. I have been following your journey for many weeks and I want to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I stumbled upon a quote that spoke to me that I want to share.
“Snuggle in God’s arms. When you are hurting, when you feel lonely or left out, let Him cradle you, comfort you, reassure you of His all-sufficient power and love.” ~ Kay Arthur.

Words cannot soothe your grief, I know. But know I find it so amazing that Jaxton was nurtured and loved effortlessly without pain, in your womb, to full term. If you find yourself wondering about his time here and the struggles he faced after he was born to this earth, take solace in the fact that he lived IN YOU, Lisa, and he knew a mother’s love in you, and he was not in pain and he was not struggling in you. You gave him life in you. And that is the most amazing gift. And now he lives, amazingly, in heaven. I’m so sorry he is not here on earth with you. I am so sorry for your loss.
Posted by Kerry Bean on March 11, 2011 at 3:32 am
Dear Hussman family,
I am so deeply sorry for your incredible loss. I have been following along and praying with my family everyday. I lost twin boys shortly after birth and it was a pain so deep that I thought it would never be eased. I am struggling to find answers in all of this. I find myself questioning why such God-loving, deeply faithful, beautiful people had to go through such a terrible heartache. Why does your family have to suffer to inspire and touch other people? It is all so very hard for me to see right now.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story and sharing the life of your precious baby boy, Jaxton. It is not often that we get to actually see the impact of a life on others but it is clear the impact Jaxton had on everyone around him and around the world. I am sorry that you had to suffer so much for this. My family and I will continue to keep you in our prayers. I hope that you find peace.
Posted by Alyson on March 11, 2011 at 5:32 am
Oh, you have so touched my heart, tears of sharing your sorrow. I loved seeing all the baby pictures, but again, the sorrow. Love to your family.

I have been praying for your family since seeing about Jaxton. Your love and devotion and faith have been inspirational to many and may you find some small comfort in knowing. I pray for each of you, for the loss of Baby Jaxton takes a little of the light from this world…but what a brilliant, beautiful light was shining from that little guy’s soul. He was so very loved and was blessed as you were to spend time in and with your loving family, always to be loved and cherished, until you meet again. Deepest sympathy
Posted by Jessica Johnston on March 11, 2011 at 7:11 am
Lisa and Josh –
You two are an amazing testament to the peace and comfort God can give through immense trials. I have been blessed to know you and blessed beyond words to have met and spent time with Jaxton.
We will continue to pray for your family as you grieve the loss of your baby boy, but we will rejoice with you that we have a Heavenly Father who will take him into His arms where there will be no tears or pain. We praise God that though it seems so short now, that God gave you two weeks to kiss, hold and love Jaxton. I’m so so thankful that that first night was not his last.
I love you guys and know that Jaxton’s life and your testimony of Christ’s strength and help in times of struggle has changed lives. To God be the glory.
We will be praying for you guys daily.
Love and hugs –
Jessie

Husmann Family,
Like others – I don’t know you personally but I have been praying for your precious Jaxton and your entire family the last few weeks. As I write this, in tears, I just can’t seem to find any words that would do justice to what you need right now. Please know that so many people are lifting your family in their prayers, that God will mend your broken hearts, and that your beautiful Jaxton is in the arms of his Heavenly Father. Praying for you all – night and day.

Dear Josh and Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear about Jaxton. I was praying that he would pull through. but his little body couldn’t hang on. He is in heaven looking down on you and the family and you will see him again someday. I know you may not know me but I am a friend of Suzanne Weber’s and I have been reading the posts that she would put up. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at your time of loss. He will never be forgotton. your story touched my heart tremendessly.
Posted by Dawn Ward on March 11, 2011 at 7:57 am
All that the devil has stolen, the Lord will return to you 100 fold. This life is but an instant and you will have a sweet eternity with your jaxton in Heaven. I know there are no comforting words now. My heart aches for you and your family. You will be in my prayers continually, especially tomorrow.
God bless you for your faith and your willingness to share with all the intimate details of this experience.
In the love of Christ,
Dawn Ward
He will turn your mourning into dancing.
Posted by Mischa on March 11, 2011 at 8:16 am
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the way you have surrendered your lives to Christ and how you’ve opened up your hearts to share your magnificent and heartbreaking story with the public. You have allowed the Lord to tell his story through your lives, and I see his face, character, and love revealed through all of it. I’ve been sitting here this morning weeping tears of joy, worshiping the Lord for the way he has been magnified through your lives and Jaxton’s life. I’m sure you never imagined that your blog would turn into a movement and stir up revival all across this nation!
As I was praying for you guys on Wednesday, I had a visual image of angels holding each of you, Lisa and Josh, as you were watching Jaxton. The angels were carrying each of you as if you were a baby, just as you had held Jaxton. This came to my mind unbidden as I was praying and interceding for you all. And I saw Jesus with his arms wrapped around you from behind holding you as tight as he possibly could. And now this morning, as I sat here worshiping, I saw in my mind a map of the United States, actually more like a globe, with a bright, bright, bright light shining from Indianapolis, Indiana and your radiant smiles, Lisa and Josh, shining through this light. Your arms were raised to heaven in praise, and people could see this light everywhere.
This is the only the beginning of your story , and you and Josh are merely at the precipice of your ministry for the kingdom of God. I am so blessed that through prayer and through the unity of believers in the body of Christ I was allowed to be a part of this. And I will continue to be a part of it by lifting you up in prayer, especially now as you mourn.
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Psalms 126:5-6
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:3

Dearest Lisa & Family,
There isn’t anything I can say or do to make your pain go away. Just know that I am thinking of you. I pray that God gives you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Your sweet baby Jaxton has grabbed the hearts of so many.
Posted by Leslie Shoemaker on March 11, 2011 at 8:23 am
The lyrics to Steven Curtis Chapman’s song – With Hope- have been playing through my mind since reading this post.
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you’ve gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but …
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
‘Cause we believe with hope
(There’s a place by God’s grace)
There’s a place where we’ll see your face again
We’ll see your face again
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God’s plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father’s smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
‘Cause now you’re home
And now you’re free, and …
We have this hope as an anchor
‘Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so …
So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest- Matthew 11:28
Our family is overing your family in prayer. Your story has touched my life in ways I would never be able to explain.

I am so so sorry Jaxton is gone. I really thought that this time you would get your miracle. I prayed for faith like your family has. I prayed for Jaxton. I am so so sorry. I will continue to pray. I can not fathom what you are going through. I pray God would hold you up and I pray you remember every good and perfect detail of Jaxton. He is such a beautiful child.
I’m sorry.

Dear Lisa and Josh:
Praying for comfort and peace during this difficult time. There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. Jaxton’s story does not end here. There are many lives that have been changed just by his being here and the posts I have read about how he has helped others find their faith again. I pray that as you navigate this sorrow that has no doubt filled your lives that you will continue to find strength in God and somehow find peace amidst this anguish. I will continue to pray for you and hope that you keep us updated on your blog as to how you are doing.
God bless your family!

I wish I could take some of your pain away, even if just for a little while. My heart is aching unbelievably for your whole family and baby Jaxton. You guys are a beautiful, strong, inspiring family and I will continue to pray that the Lord gives you the strength that you need to get through this tragic time. I have been touched forevermore by the courage, love and fight that your whole family has endured. My outlook on life has completely changed, and for that I thank you. Your love and trust in the Lord has been an inspiration to me. I am so sorry that you have to grieve the loss of your child. No parent should ever have to do that. What is amazing is that nobody could ever love sweet Jaxton more than the Lord and until you guys reunite, he will be in great hands. Love and prayers to you in the days, months, and years to come.

Dear Lisa, I’m another one of the people you’ve never met, but I’ve been following your journey for the past few weeks (via Debbie Vinall). There truly aren’t words to express how my heart breaks for you over this unimaginable loss. I would do anything to take some of your grief away, but please know that you are being prayed for and loved on from far away by people you may never meet in person here on earth. I just pray that knowing Jaxton is in the arms of our Father, never knowing anything other than love from his earthly family and then God, will someday be able to bring you some comfort.
Thank you for the honor of sharing your life with us all.
Posted by Linda on March 11, 2011 at 11:36 am
We prayed, and we will still be praying for you all. We will be thinking and praying tomorrow for his funeral. May our Lord God give you His comfort, peace, and rest during this time of sorrow. Little Jaxton is in the arms of Jesus and one day we will get to meet him!

Still praying for you. I don’t get it, but I do know one sweet angel earned his wings and will be waiting with arms wide open when you see him again. I still don’t get it. Wish I could make things better, but I pray that God will.

I do not know your family but have been watching your blog through a friend of mine. My wife and I continue to pray for comfort for your family during your time of loss. I can only imagine the smile that Jesus had on His face when He was able to hold and comfort your dear son. Cling to the Hope that we all have in Jesus Christ and know that one day, Jaxton will greet you in heaven.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I an going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am” John 14:1 – 3
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:16

I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. I cannot imagine how you are feeling. I know that the pain will always be with you, but I pray that over time you will have peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
God bless

It is heartbreaking to even imagine what you, as the parents of this little boy, are going through. He came to earth for a reason! He taught so many so much! You will carry him with you forever, through the way you continue to live your lives! You will reach out and help others. I thank you for sharing your journey with us. So many have prayed. God heard the prayers, I just believe he did! You have been blessed by your son, even though this has got to be unbelievably painful….I can not even imagine. I am an employee of Randolph Eastern Schools in Union City and attend Wesley UMC. God bless you with strength, comfort and peace.

Your little Jaxton and your family has touched my life so much!!!

“Jash” and Lisa,
Thank you so much for letting us share in this extremely difficult time and journey. My heart just aches for both of you.
Your precious, young son has touched the lives of so many, and has brought many of us closer to God. He has brought so much glory to God, and has furthered (and will continue to further) God’s kingdom. Jaxton shall live forever in the hearts of those he has touched. I am truly excited to find out how he will continue to bring glory to God even though he is no longer with us.
Though you are mourning the loss of precious Jaxton, may God give you peace with the knowledge that Jaxton has completed the mission God gave him. May we all follow in Jaxton’s tiny footsteps and complete the mission God has given us.

But he is in heaven looking down on you and the family and you will see him again someday. I know you may not know me but I am a friend of Suzanne Weber’s. I have been reading the posts that she would put up and I would always ask her how Jaxton was doing and she would always give me the update. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss. He will never be forgotton. your story touched my heart tremendessly.

This is a pain that I don’t understand.
When prayer and fasting seems not to penetrate God’s heart-when the agony and pleas, begging, tears, and cries seem to leave Him unmoved, all that we are usually left with is a deep pain.. a song of complete disorientation in our hearts. A song much like the one the Psalmist sings in Psalm 88… asking God why he doesn’t give ear to his/our cries.
My soul reason for sharing this comment today, is because I want you to feel permission to feel and even express your feelings of disorientation to God. It is not a rejection of your faith to tell Him that you don’t understand, that you feel He has been unjust, that you’re angry at Him.
I don’t know for certain if you are even feeling any of these things, and if you aren’t that’s okay too.
I am praying for you still. I have the wonderful little church where I work praying for you as well. My prayer for you this morning is that you will be able to be carried today by the prayers and faith of the community of the faithful who surround you when your wings are broken and your spirit can’t take flight.
May you feel yourselves born up by the hundreds who are praying for you. May you feel the freedom to be broken. And may even the smallest of joys ignite hope and light within your hearts today.
Posted by Katie on March 11, 2011 at 1:58 pm
There are no words. My heart is breaking for you and Josh. I’m so sorry.
Posted by Joni Sivey on March 11, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Lisa and Josh – Your continued faith is such an inspiration. I am in awe at your strength, maturity, and wisdom. You have made such an impression on me and my faith.
Thank you Jaxton for giving me perspective, gratitude, and a renewed obedience.
Your story is with me constantly. I pray you find rest, peace, and hope.
Posted by Jodi on March 11, 2011 at 3:41 pm
I am so sorry for you loss, please know that your little miracle touched more people that you all will ever know and will always have a place is so many hearts. There will be many people there to pay respects in person, and many many more there in spirit as he and your family have touched so many people.
I pray that you and your family find the perfect way to remember the wonderful days that you did share with such an amazing little boy and I smile thinking of the day when you can hold your little man again.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have been following your story and am just so very heartbroken and sorry for your loss. May you always cherish those days Jaxton blessed your life with his physical presence, and the days ahead that he will continue to bless your lives and be the angel always with you.
Posted by Natalie on March 11, 2011 at 4:25 pm
Dear Josh and Lisa,
I am so sorry for your loss, Jaxton is in heaven now watching over you,Josh and Jacob just like you did for him. I hope that someday you have peace in your heart and that the hurt will go away.
Posted by Michael Gardner on March 11, 2011 at 4:34 pm
Lisa, your grace is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your reflections of life and God’s Grace. I am BLESSED to be in a community that you & Josh share so freely. Through the pain and joy your family reflects a Christian walk that teaches so many. A walk that I think of and aspire to as I face this life. I KNOW that through the Christ, God has given us salvation, redemption and eternal life… I also KNOW that through the example of You and Josh, COUNTLESS Brothers & Sisters are lead to the Cross. Jaxton is Blessed, Jake is Blessed, Josh is Blessed. All who share in your family’s reflection of Our Father who art in Heaven…WE ARE BLESSED. As a brother in Christ Jesus, I wish I could lessen your burden. However, as a humble child I pray… “Lord, thy kingdom come, thy will be done

Lisa & Josh, I don’t know you, but I have been following your blog for the last couple of weeks after a friend posted it on her Facebook page. My heart breaks for you, and I am so, so sorry about the loss of your precious baby boy, Jaxton. I will continue to pray for God’s love and healing to surround you and your beautiful family!
Posted by kathy on March 11, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Dear Baby Jaxton,
Your life on earth was very short, but you did some very amazing things! You have brought so many people together and showed them love and faith. Things didn’t work out the way all of us wanted them to, but God has a bigger plan for you, because you are extra special.
I am so glad that you got to spend time with your family, they are awesome, as you found out. When your chatting with God please tell him to give them the strength they will need, because they are going to miss you so much.
Thank you Jaxton, Little Angel in Heaven

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I don’t know you but was and will continue to keep you in my prayers. As tears roll down my face I wish I had something more comforting to say but I could never begin to understand the pain of loosing a dear child. Jaxson was a beautiful little boy and I know the Jesus is now snuggling with him. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

I just wanted to say that words fail me now, but that I will continue to pray through the holy spirit who intercedes with moans when we don’t know the words to pray. I petition the Lord for peace in comfort in this time of mourning. I pray that you are surrounded by love today and in the weeks to come. May you feel God’s grace and peace.

I am getting ready for Jaxton’s services this morning, and what is the first song I hear on the radio? “Christ has risen from the dead, trampling over death by death, come awake come awake, come and rise up from the grave, he has risen from the dead, we are one with him again, come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave.” And I just thought about Christ calling Jaxton with these words the moment he “feel asleep” here on this earth. And the second song I heard on the radio? “I wake up to find your glory defined, and I will finally bow at your feet, woah, I will lift up your name in honor and praise…” If only we could be so lucky as Jaxton is right now…I imagine his little baby perfect body just standing and praising God in His very presence! He is comforted in every way, every tear wiped from his face! He is sooo taken care of right now!
Posted by Chris on March 12, 2011 at 11:07 am
Dear Lisa and Josh,
It is 11:00 a.m. and I am praying for your broken hearts here on earth, and Jaxton’s perfect body and soul, that is pain free in heaven. I am praying for you to feel all the human love that is poured over you this morning, and God’s love that will sustain you through the rest of your life. Thank you for sharing your faith and story in the way that you have. I am sure that one day you will see the blessings you have recieved because of your unselfish life.
Most sincerely, Chris Watkins

Husmann family,
I am one of the many who have found and followed your blog and been so inspired by your faith in God during this very sad time in your lives, and as a mother myself, I have been gripped by the pain that I know you are going through from losing your precious son. I could never begin to imagine what you must be feeling and how you are processing minute by minute…you are so strong. I pray that God surrounds your family with the most ultimate comfort and love. I truly believe your little angel has left his mark in this world and is shining brightly in Heaven. Sending warmth your way from South Texas…

Your testimony will continue to drive me to become the parent God has designed me to be. I am so grateful and humble to have known Jaxton through your message. What an amazing gift God has given the world through your little boy.
You are such an inspiration…in times of great joy and sadness, you are a blessing. God bless each of you…
