I want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes. This last week has been one of the toughest for me. During the difficult moments I go through and read all the prayers and comments on Mason Strong and all the messages I have received. They always fire me up and give me much needed strength. I appreciate and need each and every one of them. I am certain Mason appreciates hearing them as well. Thank you for fighting along with us.
