I tried to say something on the 22nd, but the words never came. I tried all last week and still nothing. What do you say when the words are all gone, yet the pain and heartache are still there? The memories of that day and everyday since with be with me always; the good and bad.
I grieve for the loss of a husband, brother, and son. I celebrate the lessons learned and life you lived. So I guess there is some balance to the tragedy that has taken you, though I would have been more than willing to learn those lessons later in life if it would have given them one more day with you.
I know you and Ken have been there for me when I needed it most. When few others would have understood my fears. You have stood vigilant over this department during some tense moments keeping them safe from harm. "Thank you" will never be enough.

Jared...
This is always such a trying time for me....missing you so much and at the same time celebrating the miracle of Faith's life. I sit there and say Faith is 3 today but then reality hits, and I realize that it also means it's been 3 years since you were taken from us. Such a confusion of emotion going on inside of me. But I try to stay balanced for you and Faith. I feel that slowly I'm getting a balance, but only time will tell.
Yesterday I visited the bench and placed a flag each from Faith and Aaron. We went to your park and played for nearly an hour....I found myself sitting back watching everyone play and remembering the many times that we went to parks when we were kids...fond memeroies.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories...
Love Ya!

Thanks for the time I had with you today at the bench. I had my family there with me, as we knelt on that hallowed ground and honored not your loss, but your life! Without being prompted by anyone, my kids stepped forward to show their respect. Jessi left one of her favorite stuffed horses there today, and my son Garrett left a necklace and kissed your memorial stone. Both left flowers that they individually picked out. Such are the blessings of un-scripted, pure child love. We should all have such love. They have asked many questions I don't have answers for, and at times have fears I cannot calm. But they understand the man you are, what you stand for and all you gave to your country. Thank you for the lessons your life is teaching my children. Thank you for bringing your family closer to mine. Their lives enrich ours daily.
Do me a favor and give Saint Michael my best. God Bless you, my friend.

We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.

The memories of three years ago today still haunt my dreams; it is only in the thoughts of your memory that I am able to find comfort. It's hard to believe that it's been three years since you were stolen from us. Your memory has and will continue to live strong in those that you touched.
Gone but not forgotten.

My Precious Son,
How does a father properly ... appropriately ... sufficiently show his love for his son? I have knelt at the bus bench with JD and prayed at that hallowed site. I have cried with Jeff and Jonika as we stood at your grave site on that mountain top. I kiss you face on that 8 x 10 picture every morning when I wake and every evening before I go to bed. I wear the blue wrist bracelet with you name and EOW date. I speak to you each day and tell you I love you. With God's help I bear the pain and continue to put one foot in front of the other.
So what's the answer to the question I ponder at the beginning of this reflection? The answer??? With God's direction, it is to try to live my remaining days here as best as I can... as you, Jared, lived your life on earth. Strive to work hard, help others, be honest, courageous, committed to what is right and good. Work through the pain .... the ________ pain, and try to emulate you... my son, my precious, precious son.
Be near me, be with me. I so need that.
Love you,
Dad

J-Rod,
Let me start by stating "WOW" the lord works in mysterious ways. I say that because I was awaken by you this morning. As you stood there with that bright smile and lean image I remember having a conversation with you about our lives the last three years. Upon the conclusion of our conversation you "zipped" away with that smile on your face which left me overjoyed. Thanks for being there for me and everyone else who ever had the pleasure of meeting you. You are truly not forgotten. I miss you.

Dear Jared, I know you were there Wed night and it couldn't have been more evident...even when I tried to keep things under control and couldn't. Wish you could've helped me bowl a better game tonight:) I know that you were shaking your head. This is always such a time of reflection, and I hope that some of the big questions I've been asking will be answered or clearer soon.
Please continue to be right there beside each and every person that loves you; help us to keep reaching out, to share the light that you gave us, to live rich, full lives that make this world a better place. You know our hearts, you visit and continue to affect...Thank you for your steadfast love, it is sustaining, it is peace, it is joy. Love you always and forever....

Jared,
I went by the bench a little while ago and placed a flag. Although we won't be in the Springs on Sunday, know that I'll be thinking of you the whole time we are away. We'll do a shot, try not to cry and instead toast the good memories. Some days it feels like 3 minutes, other days it seems like it was more than 3 years ago that you were stolen from us. A few days ago, I was looking through pictures of us from when we were kids, when I graduated the academy, when you did, your wedding....great times. You continue to make an impact on those of us whose lives you touched and those of us who look up to how you lived. Thank you for the focus. Take care Jared,I miss you man, more than I could explain.
