Green Dreams

"Isn't it strange, Dad? While every kid in the world are wishing for puppies, snow days, and toys this Christmas, I'm just praying for you and Mom." ~Austin (5 years old Journal entry: 478)              "I watched you falter today, Dad. How I wish I can tell you how much I believe in you, how much Mom believes in you." ~Austin (13 years old Journal Entry: 1365)              "I watched you die today, Mom. I saw your fear and I saw your relief. And I want you to know that I understand. I get it." ~Austin (14 years old Journal Entry: 1534)           "Mom . . . I want you to know how happy I am to finally be here with you and Dad, that you finally know I exist. I can finally say that I'm your son completely." ~Austin (21 years old Journal Entry: 3445)
