I wanted to share the attached article with all of you, as I have thought about it countless times over the past few years, and especially recently. From the first time I read it, I felt it was a very accurate and touching summation of who Jack is and what helped him become this way.
Jack has always been one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know. He has always been faithful to God and the spirit of Jesus has always been thoroughly integrated into his being. It is not something he has had to study about or for, but it is truly in him.
Many who have met Jack have said (even before his first tumor was found) that he was special kid and was placed on this Earth and in our lives for a reason. He has taught and touched many, old and young, just by his presence and friendship. Quite often when we go somewhere, somebody will engage Jack, knowing him from a a previous encounter that none of us were aware of, and tell us what a special person he is.
For those who know Jack, this article will only confirm what you know to be true. For those who have yet to meet him, it will give you some background and insight into one of God's true warriors.
The author of the article, Mike Lee, was Jack's superintendent at Cherokee Christian School and helped our family embrace Jack's challenges early on. We want to thank Mike again for sharing his thoughts from 2005 that still hold true today.
Have a great day and please continue to pray for guidance that we can make the right decisions during the challenges ahead.
I love you, Jack.
Dad
