My Courageous Son...John Patrick
I will always remember the great courage John had and how brave he was through all he had to endure. He kept his wonderful sense of humor almost to the end of his life. Close to the end his tumor had robbed him of most of his sight,most of his hearing and his means of communicating with us. Shortly before he lost everything I thought we'd better have a little code so we agreed on a squeeze of his fingers...one squeeze was for yes, two for no and three was for "I love you"..one day we were practicing and I squeezed his fingers 3 times for "I love you"....he squeezed me back 4 times...I looked at him kind of puzzled and said "what does that mean?" and he said " I love you more" There are not enough words to express how much I miss my son, how much my heart aches for him. I will never forget the brave battle he fought and how much we all miss him. John was very special and he will always be "my bestest boy".... I will LOVE & MISS you ALWAYS John....Mommy
