Today has been a great day!!!  As you can see, we went on Jack’s “fancy helicopter” ride with Bruce Haffner from News 3!!  When we were in isolation for stem cell transplant, Jack woke up one morning and asked me if he could go for a fancy helicopter ride.  My dad got on the computer and emailed Bruce and he emailed back right away and made it happen.  It is amazing what people do for others.  Really, not only Bruce, but Larry and the Pratte family…amazing people.  Thank you so much for doing this for Jack.  He had a ball and it was such a special day for our family.  We will never forget any of you…thank you so very much.

Jack and Zac went up while Braden and I took a walk around the airpark.  They flew over Nikki’s work where she was jumping up and down in the middle of the street with a sign she made for Jack.  Then they flew over the railroad park, which made Jack want to get out and go to the park!  They then came and flew over our house where our neighbors were outside jumping and waving to Jack.  They came back to the airpark and Jack got out and came running to give me tons of kisses.  He is such a sweet kid.  Today has been a great day.  Thank you so very much to all of you…my Dad, Bruce, Larry, and Pratte family who pulled this all together for our little firework….
