Jackie Lynn
1954-1996
Jackie Lynn took my heart,
Gently changed it's form,
And handed back a gift from God
That could weather any storm.
Often late at night
She would tell me stories of her life,
Pouring out 42 years,
Until the morning light.
I listened in amazement
As she never said "Why Me?"
She felt that those who loved her,
Were the real victims of EB.
Jackie didn't just overcome EB,
She made it disappear,
Overshadowing it with a love of life,
While death was always near.
In her eyes I saw eternity,
And it took away my breath,
Surely just such eyes had closed
The day that Jesus wept.
She leaves behind a legacy
More precious that silver and gold,
A love of life beyond belief,
And a purity of soul.
We will miss her presence,
But be thankful for God's will,
That He loved us enough
To give us Jackie Lynn Caudill.

That was a beautiful poem thank you so much for sharing it! I also answered yes to the poll, a great man named Kermitt lived to be 60 I believe. He just recently passed away. He survived skin cancer and a leg amputation for many years afterwards. There are so many inspirational EB adults, it really gives me hope that I could survive that long.

Thank you again for sharing. HUGS
