Thank you,
To say my world changed on February 23, 2007 is to state the obvious. The truth is my world changed 29 years before, when Josh was born. Every parent knows the joy and sorrow of seeing their son or daughter grow and move through this experience we call life. I thank God for allowing me to share the last 29 years.
Now I extend my thanks to every person and organization that has shed light into the darkness of the last five months. My brother Zack said one of the most moving comments I have heard.
He said, “This is the closest I may ever come to knowing a real Hero. Thank you for Josh.”
On behalf of my son, one of our country's real Heroes, “Thank you.”
