GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE

I just got off the phone with Debbie. I know it's been a very long time since either she or I posted here. A big part of the reason for this is that she has very limited access to a computer and has been without a phone this entire time until Saturday night.

Up until recently, Jack had been doing quite well. But, I'm heartbroken to say, things have taken a turn for the worst, and as we were talking, Debbie and Jack were on their way to Columbia (where he had the surgery and treatments), and the Dynamic Duo is on their final journey together.

Debbie promised she will post here as soon as possible, so she will give you all the specifics, but last night, Jack went blind. The blindness is not the reason he will be going to the Bridge today... there were a number of other things that were going wrong too, but I don't want to give you misinformation, so I'll leave that for her to post.

Please keep Debbie and Jack in your prayers. They've both put up such a great fight, and all of your love, support, donations and prayers have given them so much more time together than they ever thought possible.

WE LOVE YOU BIG JACK!!!! You're buddy Mike is up there waiting for you, and you will finally get to meet. I can see you now... our two White Shadows running and playing together. I miss my Mike so much... please take care of him (he's smaller than you, you know). Run, chase squirrels, chase each other and enjoy your new found youth and health together. Your Mommy and I will see both of you someday. BE FREE BOYS!!! WE LOVE YOU.

Oh God I wish I could stop crying... but Debbie is like my sister, and Jack... well Jack was like my own heart, Mike. Even though we've never met in person... the four of us have a bond that will never break.

I'm closing for now. I can't write anymore. We'll have to wait to hear from Debbie.

Again... Thank You.. Each And Every One of You... God Bless You All.

So Much Love and Many Blessings
