James

James, Happy 29! I am so proud of you, it’s not easy working and getting your education, but you are doing it, one bit at a time. You are going to be the best Dad, and by example, instilling a great work ethic in your offspring (I don’t know if its a boy or girl). Mikaela is doing the same thing.  It amazes me the way you and Mikaela have done everything by yourselves. I remember the accident so well; I got the call and came right down. I saw you were wounded, just wanting to go to sleep; I just laid down beside you trying to keep you awake. The ambulance came and by the time we got to the hospital, you were already in the helicopter heading for Salt Lake. We arrived, and corralled in a room, where we were told to say our goodbyes. After I refused a ‘blessing’ and said ‘James is in JESUS’s hands’, you flipped-off Chris, and woke up. Even your head repaired itself! The power of JESUS is a sight to behold! You are a fine example of what an honest, God loving human being should be.  Happy Birthday! Dad

Honess, I can’t begin to tell you how you much you mean to me! We have grown closer and closer as time moves on. You are my rock, 2nd only to JESUS. I can’t imagine my life without you in it. You are my soul mate, were in this togezzer! Everyone around us seems to ambivalent to what’s happening, you are solid and unwavering; I can count on you always. We both had our moments getting hit by a freight train; for you in Jerusalem walking where Jesus walked, for me on a trip in a hotel room, very different experiences but in both cases the Holy Ghost was made known. I appreciate your steadfastness and honesty, there is truly nobody JESUS could have put me with but you! I love you with all my heart
