I write this not on Father's Day but a couple of days after. I think there is a reason for me waiting this long to post it. As many of you know Jason suffered a Grand Mal Seizure at work on Monday. As I received the phone call from his boss my heart sank and I immediately burst into tears. No one wants to receive a call like that ever and my worst nightmare came true yesterday afternoon. I could not help but reflect on the fun day we shared with you the day before (Father's Day). You are an incredible father to our children. Yes, you work many late hours during the week but you seem to try and make up for it on the weekends. The kids just light up when you walk in the door after work and they always ask in the mornings if you have left yet and did you kiss them before you left. I have never seen a father who will get down and play as hard as you do after a long day of work. You do not come in and watch TV or play on the computer. You spend all of your time with them playing. I hope you know what that means to them. The last couple of days have been very hard. It is very difficult to watch you struggle to get up from a sitting position and when talking to you you dose off from pure exhaustion as well as being medicated heavily. I know this is temporary but it really makes us appreciate the good times we do have with you and not to take them for granted. The kids are so lost without you. They want to jump on you and play but they have done so well given the circumstances. They want to pray constantly that you will get up soon and be your old self. Madison tells me frequently, when she sees my exhaustion from holding the family together, "Mom, everything will be ok. God will take care of Daddy, we just need to pray." Wow, my baby is growing up so fast! I have put this in God's hands and I know he will carry us through this. Jason we love you so much and we are so glad you are still here with us! Stay strong...I know you are frustrated with the slow progress but it has only been 24 hours since this all began. Thank you for who you are what you do for us everyday. Thank you for allowing me to be home with our children, to raise them in a way I hope to be pleasing to God. Thank you for supporting me and making me feel that this is what I need to be doing right now and the time will come when I can one day use my degree to it's fullest potential. You are amazing! Happy Father's Day we love you!

I had no idea! I wish you had told me so I could be praying. I'll definitely keep you guys in my prayers. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. I hope you'll let me know how things are going. It is so hard to be patient and rely on God but I know you will and things will work out for the best. In my prayers!
What a wonderful post Cindy and such a tribute to a great man. You are in our constant thoughts and prayers. Please let us know what we can do. God is in control and you are doing a wonderful job caring for your family.
