These are photos of Aaron's world in Mount Bachelor Academy. Patrick is one of the guys for a couple of days. The difference being, he knows he's going home soon.
Looking close at these shots I notice Aaron's bulletin board included photos of his brother and significant achievement notes. On his bed is the football he was awarded for being Most Valuable Intervention participant. More than any other award, that football meant the most to Aaron. It was with him in the casket and the boys from MBA took it back to Oregon. I wonder where it resides today.
I think the middle photo is PT looking at a book in Barnes and Noble. (That was an experience) On his neck is Aaron's favored necklace. AJ gave it to PT during their brother-bonding hike and camp out. On his nose and upper lip is whipped cream.
The backpacking photo is one of our favorites. In fact, the boys took several photos of eachother during that special time and we love them all.
Tears in Tampa
On another matter, I read the news about Tony Dungy's son and the funeral today. The headline on the story reads: Tony Dungy Buries His 18 Year Old Son. Having done the same, I can still not say I know his pain but I do remember mine. My heart aches for him and the rest of the family. God, please grant this family peace, if only for moments, and compassion for themselves, in their hearts.
Peace to all who mourn losses,
Tom
