August 2, 2013.  Well last month a friend of Edisons had a near drowning accident and he almost died. Which is where near and almost come in.  It happened July 7th.  Well today we went to visit him for the first time since it happened.  We were both a tad nervous. But for someone that was on a ventilator it was not so bad.  Just don't know what to say. Except what we have been doing and not doing and wishing he were around to get my kid out of the house.  Edison has been spending so much time in the classroom that I think if is growing roots and planting them in the floor.

But is was nice to see Colten.  And scarry. To think that we almost lost a friend.  I didn't want that for Edison.  Not at 12.  It is one thing to lose a grandparent but something else to lose someone so young.

He should make a full recovery if not life may be a tad rough for Colten.  The doctors keep telling Sheri that kids are so much stronger than we think they are. And they are all impressed with how strong Colten is.

My kid never seize to amaze me.  His compassion and kind heart is so big. I know that Colten was happy to see him.
