Happy 23rd birthday in heaven, Jack. 💙
Today you turn 23, and my heart is full and aching all at once. Every year this day teaches me something new about how love and grief live side by side. I would give anything to hug you, to hear your voice, to celebrate you here. But I’m holding on to what I know is true: you are safe, you are whole, and you are celebrating in the presence of Jesus❤️
You were such a bright light in this world, Jack, and that light hasn’t dimmed. It shines through every junior golfer who receives a scholarship, every teenager who hears the hope of Christ, and every story of love and legacy your life has helped write and it’s still being written! We will never forget you on this side of heaven. Your name is spoken with love in our home every single day.
Today I’m choosing gratitude for the gift of being your mom, and I’m choosing hope in the promise that this isn’t goodbye forever.
Happy birthday, my sweet boy. I love you more than words can say, and I’ll see you soon. My book is your story and God’s.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Matthew 5:4

Friday Funday with “Big J Snydes!” Jack never met a camera he didn’t love. He was a ham in the best way, and made every picture and video the best because he was in it! Jack, you are such a gift, keep hamming it up sweet boy. We love you and miss you! That’s a big part of why I wrote, Watch What I Do Now. It’s all about Jack, who he was when he was here, how deeply he was loved, and how God is still writing his story, and ours. 💙🙏🏼

If you’ve read Watch What I Do Now: A Story of Love, Loss, and Legacy, I have a favor to ask: would you take a few minutes to leave an honest review on Amazon? Reviews matter because the more a book has, the more it shows up in search results and recommendations, which puts it in front of readers who might never otherwise find it. Thank you for reading, for walking this journey with my family, and for helping Jack’s story keep reaching people. I’m so grateful for you! ❤️❤️❤️

Jack Elton Snyder loved people, worked hard, kept his faith, and played golf with everything he had. This scholarship exists because of who he was — and it belongs to a young golfer who lives the same way.

If you could see what Jesus has done, a circle of teenagers, heads bowed, hands joined, right in the middle of Jack’s backyard putting green. No stage, no spotlight, just young hearts lifting their voices to the God who loves them❤️🙌🏻❤️
When Jack passed, I never imagined this. I couldn’t have pictured that the place where he loved to practice for hours and hours would become a place God would use. He took our deepest sorrow and began doing something only He could do.
He has used my brokenness as a vessel.
This is the miracle I see now. Not always a sea parting, but a circle forming. Teenagers and young adults choosing to hold hands and hold fast to Him🙌🏻
God laid on my heart, Watch What I Do Now 🤍
To anyone walking through loss: God wastes nothing, not even this. Especially not this. Our story story is available now on Amazon, B&N.com, and Walmart.com 💙🙌🏻💙

Since Watch What I Do Now found its way into your hands, I’ve been overwhelmed by the beautiful messages pouring in. So many of you have written to tell me how our story pierced your heart, and how Jack’s life and legacy stayed with you long after you finished the book.
What moves me most is how many of you have shared that it was our faith that spoke to you. That’s the heart of this book. Through the love, the loss, and everything in between, God never let go of us. If our story points even one person back to Him, then every tear it took to write was worth it.
Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for taking the time to reach out. I read every message, and each one is a gift. I’m humbled and so grateful.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
With so much love and gratitude,
Jacci

My hope is not borrowed, my hope has been lived through. My testimony is part of how God works, not just a story of what He did. If you’ve made it to this page, I believe it’s no accident.
Maybe you’re carrying a loss of your own. Maybe you picked my book up out of curiosity, or because someone who loves you put it in your hands. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know the hope in these pages didn’t come from me. It came from Jesus! He is the only reason our family is still standing.
He doesn’t ask you to have it all figured out. He simply invites you to come. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
If you’ve never said yes to Him, you can do it right now, in your own words. Tell Him you need Him. Tell Him you believe He died and rose again for you. Ask Him to take your life, your grief, your questions, and make something new. He will.
And then, Watch What He Does Now. ❤️

Today is the official release day of my book 🕊️
There was a time we didn’t think we would survive Jack’s passing. The grief was more than anyone thought a person could carry. BUT GOD, He met us in the darkness and turned our brokenness into a story of hope. Watch What I Do Now is that story. Our story and Jack’s. Written for anyone who needs to know that healing is possible, even after the unthinkable. This is a story of how strong I am, or my family, it’s a story about how faithful God is, even especially when we’re at our weakest. It’s Jack’s story, and it’s ours, and I believe it’s a story. A lot of people need right now, because so many of us are carrying grief we don’t know what to do with. If you’ve ever wondered whether healing is possible after tragedy, I wrote this book for you. If you’ve ever needed to know that God can meet you in your darkest place, I wrote this book for you. Only God. He took our pain and wrote the most beautiful story. Available now on Amazon.com, B&N.com, and Walmart.com ❤️
