Happy Father's Day! I know if Jess could, he would sure say those words to his dad and thank him for being such a protective, caring dad that loves him so much and cannot leave his side. Chris would tell all you dads out there to spend as much fun time as you can with your kids and don't let the little things get in the way of the love you can extend to them. Because...you just never know.
We made it through the 17th and actually felt more at peace after we spent an hour or so down at the accident site. Some very special friends surprised us and joined us in a circle around Jess. We lit candles, talked about special times and said special prayers. The sky had been cloudy up until we drove down the road. We witnessed a beautiful sunset and a very peaceful atmosphere. A friend that lives down south of us said there seemed to be a light shining down on the spot where we stood. We received a lot of emails confirming friends support of our request for prayers and I was amazed how the word spread across the U.S. We felt the energy and the love and we want to thank everyone again. We continued to be blessed with wonderful people in our lives.
I know this life is all about love and forgiveness and we have sure felt a lot of both through this journey. Jess was very with us that night. We watched him connect with a friend who he had made a very special pack with him a few years ago and that had joined us that night. It was the first time that friend had been able to see Jess. It's hard for his friends to see him hurt. But, I want you all to know you don't always need to communicate with words. We communicate more with our hearts. And that's the only way Jess can right now. His eyes will let you know how much he misses you, too. So, that day is over and behind us and we are again marching forward...
