Garrett - everyday I come home from the rehab and I feel exhausted but yet I feel peace. As I watch you even when you are resting I see that God is walking with you. You are the most special son and when I pray at night I tell God that I know you are his son but you are also mine - and that I need him to heal you and bring you back to me. I know you will come home, not in my time but in the Lord's time. I do not know how Larry and I were so blessed to have two wonderful children but I thank the Lord everyday for you and Jordan. Jordan has been amazing. She has given me so much strength. When you wake up you will not recognize her - she too has grown in her faith. Today you seemed to put your arm around me and rubbed my back when I was feeling lonely. You also rubbed your hand through Jordan's hair. You are amazing even as you rest and are healing you bring peace to others. Garrett your family loves you so much. Garrett's medicine has been changed over the past two days so progress seems slow. He also itched his nose and was sucking on a lollipop today. Thank you to all who let me know you are thinking about us and praying for us. Love, Dottie

Garrett so glad to here from Liz all your progress. She came home with such a good feeling in her heart after her visit. Her first visit was a little tough on her and this time she just came home beaming with excitement about seeing you. And telling us all the stories about your progress as well as your families experiences through all this. Neither you or your family understand how good you made her feel and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless..Carlene

Pork, I can't tell you how much confidence you have put back in me. To see you the way you were today, absolutely shocked me! I walked in there not knowing what I was going to see. I had a dream yesterday that I came to visit you. You focused ur eyes, and started talking... I know... that the dream I had will come true. I will be there every Sunday from here on out. Because I will witness it. I didn't come see you for a while because truly I couldn't... I just couldn't see you like that. Now that I see you moving around grabbing ur feet and legs, its such a relief knowing that the progress you are making...is huge! The fact that you grabbed my shoulder and squeezed it... and tried to pinch Braden's nose when we asked, WOW. you are going to be alright man. and I cant wait to see the progress you make every week. I know the dream I had, will come true, keep fighting it, I'll see you next Sunday! ......................................................................................................For now I'm out. Keep fighting it #60!...............................................Murph

Garrett, Continue to fight kiddo! We are all behind you 100% of the way. I'm hoping I can come see you sometime soon. Keep strong, and always know how many wonderful people are behind you and love you. You are making so much progress, continue your passion to fight! ~Megan D.

Hi Garrett, I didn't get a chance to get to see you this weekend, but I hope to visit you this week sometime. I gat on the site everyday to see all the messages and to get an update on you. Garrett, with God's help and all of the prayer, I know that you will make it through this. Coco is waiting for you, she looks sad when I go to feed her and let her out, when your family is with you. I tell her that you are coming home and can't wait to see her too. We all love you Garrett and are praying for you day and night. Love you kiddo, Aunt Toots, Uncle Kevin, Jason, Kaleb and Mollie

Hello Parkers. The progress reports about Garrett are very encouraging! Please take care of yourselves because Garrett needs a healthy, rested family to help him on his road to recovery. We continue to pray for all of you. The Lanzas

Garrett, It is great to hear the improvement that you have been making. It's is amazing how many people are praying for you and your family. You and your family are so strong and with everyone's prayers, you are going to make it through this!!! It is great to be away from home and still be able to check up on you. Continue the hard work and it will pay off. We love you, Alicia Heckel

Garrett I'm so proud of you for hanging in there. Every day when I get home from school I get online and go to the website to see how you are doing. I hate not being able to come see you and see the tremendous progress that you have made. I always knew that you were tough, so I never had any doubts that you wouldn't pull through this. I admire you so much and I miss your smile! There are so many people who keep you in their thoughts and prayers every day! I think about you all the time and keep praying for you and the family. I miss all of you so much! I was talking with Karyl Milly yesterday and she, out of the middle of no where, told me that she thought about you and your family all the time and will continue to pray for all of you as well. She wants to see you all happy again soon. We all want that Garrett. So keep pushing along and we'll all be here waiting for you! We love you Garrett! And keep up the good work!

Garrett, Stay strong bud. It was tough saying goodbye when I had to leave for school the other night. It was just you and I in the room and I knew you felt my presence. I cried for about a half hour until I convinced myself that you are going to get through this. You're in my constant prayers. With love, Cousin Jason

Good Morning Parkers, I want you to know that you ALL are in our constant prayers and thoughts. Your strength and commitment to Garrett and all of us who care is awesome! The youth event today won't be the same without Garrett and as the first coming together of all of his friends in Christ I am sure that they will have Garrett with them in their hearts. Know that we are all still here waiting to do what ever you all need. Jordan I will get busy working on our project tomorrow I promise. I was wondering if you would like to use some part of this as your graduation project. Maybe Kaitlyn would do it with you? Just a thought you can let me know. Larry just when I think I can't get thru another game I find you on the field and your strength amazes me. You guys are just the BEST! We can't wait to see Garrett again. Please let us know if one time would be better or more helpful to you! Stay strong and Garrett I know that one day very soon you will amaze us all with your strength and enjoy being outside and at Memorial Stadium where you shine so brightly!! Love you all Kym and all the Dorkos

Hi Garrett! It's Mrs. Butler. I see your progress has been steady and we are all so happy to hear that great news. I look forward to seeing you very soon - I am going to try to come down early this week. Everyone who has been to visit you recently say that you look great - I can't wait to see for myself. I continue to think of you everyday as well as remember that Garrett smile - I look forward to seeing that smile again soon. My prayers are with you and your family as you continue to fight through this. Larry, Dottie, and Jordan - as I told you on Friday evening - you are all amazing people. I now know where Garrett gets his strength! "Good Kids come from Good Parents." May God bless you all. Love, Mrs. B.
