On Sunday morning, May 17th 2009, I was started awake by my wife's frantic cry "come quick, I think Jonathan is dead!" That day...those words...and the image of my oldest, beloved son's lifeless body on our couch, will forever be etched in my memory.For those of you who were not aware of my son's situation, here is a brief overview of the situations leading up to this day of loss for our family.
Jonathan was born a normal child on Sept 6th 1991. He grew as a normal child with little to no health issues.
When he reached his pre-teen years, it was noticed that he was a bit thin, but it was never considered an issue or health problem. Due to the thinness and lack of much muscle structure he had issues with sports, having to quit baseball after one season.
