<p>Thank you, jd. I’m so happy for you, your son, and your whole family, that you had this day. Continued love and healing for all of you.</p>
<p>Wishing you and yours much peace and happiness!</p>
<p>For his age, he’s wise
He’s got his mother’s eyes
There’s gladness in his heart
He’s young and he’s wild
My only prayer is, if I can’t be there,
Lord, protect my child</p>
<p>As his youth now unfolds
He is centuries old
Just to see him at play makes me smile
No matter what happens to me
No matter what my destiny
Lord, protect my child…</p>
<p>There’ll be a time I hear tell
When all will be well
When God and man will be reconciled</p>
<p>But until men lose their chains
And righteousness reigns
Lord, protect my child</p>
<p>from* Lord Protect my Child *by Bob Dylan</p>
<p>I am so glad that there is a positive outcome to this life changing experience. God Bless.</p>
<p>Congratulations, what a day it must have been!</p>
<p>Faline 2, thank you for that quote - I am in love with it. I can’t believe I’d never seen it before.</p>
<p>Congratulations to the entire Jaguar family, and especially to jaguarson who refused to let this horrible incident slow him down.</p>
<p>I’d never seen the poem/song before, either. Thank you for posting it, Faline2.</p>
<p>jdjaguar, I am so happy for you and your family. What a joyful day it must have been! Your poetry is beautiful and incredibly moving.</p>
<p>A truly blessed day!</p>
<p>Your family experience will certainly help me think more about the positive side of life. Thanks for posting.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update, jaguar. I look forward to hearing more details about that magnificent day and how your son is feeling, healing, etc.</p>
<p>And, of course–CONGRATULATIONS!</p>
<p>52 staples out of his head</p>
<p>tomorrow</p>
<p>52…</p>
<p>only</p>
<p>Oh!!! 
Glad he is on the mend, though! :)</p>
<p>It’s no wonder your son has come through this with the strength he has, he has you for a father.</p>
<p>52 staples! He’ll feel lighter at the end of the day! I’m amazed at how quickly he is healing. It must have been a truly emotional occasion to see him walk with the rest of the graduating class.</p>
<p>they say that death brings forth a cascade of memories. splitting seconds into eons as your life flips by…as if you were watching a slideshow on steroids…</p>
<p>fortunate enough i have no direct capacity to comment, but I can say that LIFE is eerily similar/</p>
<p>as S walked down that hallowed hall…a cascade of images filled my soul…the 4 year old smashing bricks now clutched a diploma allowing him to build them to the sky!</p>
<p>you would never know S was so terribly injured a mere 18 days ago…the young are strong.</p>
<p>stronger still,</p>
<p>is the community of man.</p>
<p>Congratulations to your son! What a courageous young man!</p>
<p>filled with wonder! He is strong and wise, and his parents are blessed. </p>
<p>thank-you for the updates…getting ready to depart soon for our son’s graduation and will be thinking on his…</p>
<p>forgive me my transgressions.</p>
<p>S started a full time job yesterday.</p>
<p>and that is that.</p>
<p>guees he was more interesting w/ a smashed in face.</p>
<p>my apologies…smashed no more.</p>
<p>and on to the next adventure…</p>
<p>life goes on!</p>
<p>Wow, that is just amazing. How quickly the young heal!</p>
