Jason was just a year younger than my son Derrick. They used to play & 'hangout' together @ Snowmass during our Family Summer gatherings when we visited our Uncle George, who was a Monk @ St. Benedicts for 17.5 years. I had the honour of visiting Jason when he was in ICU & he was awake. As I stood there looking into Jason's beautiful, expressive eyes & softly stroking his forehead, I saw that beautiful child of God, once again. I told him he was a son of the Most High God, Who loved him more than he could possibly imagine, and then began to sing him a song I sang to Derrick when he was little boy. It was a song about our gentle Jesus, and how much we love Him. Within the lyrics of the song there is a description of a gentle breeze, blowing through the trees & a meadow filled with flowers leading to Jesus showing me (I substituted Jason's name) His gentleness. Jason still had his breathing tube so could not talk but I saw a tear run out of his right eye when I began singing. I will never forget that moment with him & the vision I have of him laughing & running through a meadow filled with flowers in Heaven. A meadow filled with flowers, holding the right Hand of Jesus, and laughing and smiling as he did as the child, I remembered him to be.
