Cool pic

Today I was thinking about how it would be fun to do the Clackamas River Runoff (click here for more info) this year in memory of Jon. Last year I had asked Lee and Jon to join in a triathlon (Team R &R) and unfortunately I was not in OR in time to join, but they had someone do the running part and had a great time. Lee said that with Jon's awesome bike times they actually placed well (2:39:11), despite Lee's mockery of kayaking in a white water type kayak. So, I went to the website and looked up info and while I browsed the pics from last year I found this:

Is the last pic not the perfect pic? (smile)

Conversation on Saturday with Noah:

We were driving in the car alone and Enya was playing on the system; I said, "This song makes me think of Jon sometimes."

Noah says, "Mom I have something to tell you, but I do not know how you will think about it"

"What is it Noah?" I ask.

"Well, I was thinking about Jon the other night and I was feeling very sad when I heard a whisper in my ear that said,'Noah'. I thought it was Jon, so I talked to him. I know it wasn't you or Dad because there was no one in the living room."

Stunned, I say, "Noah, anytime you want to talk to Jon you talk to him. He will always hear you." (tears are fighting to flow down my face)

"Mom, I think that it is really neat that we all can talk to Jon if we want too. I know Nan-na does, and Grandpa too. I bet Liorah and Aunt Marion do too."

"Yes, Noah. We all talk to Jon."
