Footprints on the Moon

This is the post that I hoped and prayed that I wouldn’t have to write. About an hour or an hour and a half after I posted the update last night, I got a message on Facebook to call Aunt Jane. That’s when she told me that Jason had died.

I think the best two words to describe how we are all feeling are shocked and devastated. We all knew that things didn’t look good and that he had a long road to recovery, but as he kept improving little by little, I think most of us started to hope for the best possible outcome. But yesterday he started bleeding internally, and they couldn’t get it stopped due to the blood thinners he had been on to prevent blood clots.

Right now, I really don’t want to hear about how Jason dying is all a part of God’s plan. Whether or not that is true is irrelevant. It’s just not the time. Right now, our hearts are hurting. Right now, I just want to be pissed off at how unfair life is.

He leaves behind a wonderful wife, a beautiful baby girl, and a large extended family who all loved him very much. We miss you already, Jason!
