Linda is here! We just got back from picking her up at the air port. Well, actually we just got back from dinner, where we went after picking her up. Anyway, it is great that she is here. I feel so much better now, and know that she feels better, too. Tomorrow we have a few errands to take care of and then we will be going to the Marine Corps Ball, on Camp Pendleton, with Jason and Gracie. It is something that Linda and I have been looking forward to, for some time now. Jason looks at us and just shakes his head, he thinks we're acting like kids going to the Homecoming Dance, or something. It is a big deal for the two of us, so we intend to have fun.

Otherwise, there really isn't much to tell about today. Jason took care of a couple of things at the base, as well as getting a hair cut, and then we spent most of the day at the house. I did get in a short bike ride, though, it really didn't amount to much. I figure if I continue to ride a bunch of little rides for the rest of this year, perhaps I will be able to ride longer ones next year, and get back in shape for a longer ride, like I did before.

Jason is doing well and feeling in pretty good spirits, and he got some of the required paperwork done today. There is still a little bit to get done, and then we should know what will be happening with the rest of his career in the Marines. Thank you, for all the continued prayers and support. Take care and stay positive.

    So happy that you're together again!
    Such words of comfort! Praying!

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

    Dear Staff Sgt Jason Ross,
    "Thank you for your service" does not adequately express my sentiments. Have you ever received a quilt from the Quilts of Valor organization www.qovf.org/ ? I make QOV quilts and if you have not received one, I would like to make sure you receive one. God Bless.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

 First - Happy Easter to you all!! We attended the 11:00am services and it was packed. This was a much happier and more "normal" Easter than last year, and I'm glad. I want to apologize that I didn't get any pictures, but I do know that Linda has taken a few these past several days, so it is just a matter of me getting time with her 'droid and then I can pull a few over here. It has been an amazing last several days... yet it all began a little over three (3) years ago. You see, Amber H. (I forgot to ask her if I could put her name in this blog) attempted to reach out to me, to ask if I was Jason's dad, and if he had lost his military dog tags. Well, as it turned out I didn't see this outreach until just a couple of weeks ago. When I did see it my first reaction was - "Is this some kind'a scam?" I decided to cautiously respond back to Amber, now 3-years later, just to see what kind of response I would get. As it turned out she got back to me
