That is an amazing story. I wonder if I would have as much grace and compassion under the same circumstances. I hope never to find out.

I’m so sorry about Cooper. He looks like a darling boy and his loss must be devastating. What wise and compassionate parents. I hope this helps everybody heal a little better.

I’m sorry too to read about your friend, but thankful that you had her in your life. These are all good reminders to focus on the stuff that matters (which isn’t stuff, of course).

wow. this was truly beautiful. i actually heard this story in complete detail just the other evening at a gathering i was attending. of course i had no idea it was connected to you.

we live in such a very small, interconnected world.

forgiveness and love are always the best way. always.

blessings to all of you.

My throat was closed and my heart was open as I anxiously read to the end. Forgiveness and oneness. Beautiful.

I have been thinking so hard about your brother and his wife. And Cooper. Your whole family, in their grief. I’m so sorry. I will always ALWAYS admire how dignified and loving they – you – have been during this AWFUL time after Coopers death.

Jodi,
This is a beautiful entry in your blog. I think it’s interesting I stumbled upon this today, I think I needed it. I wish I could have been there to support Ted and Sharon, I had no idea when this was happening Now that I’ve moved out, no one tells me anything. But I’d just like to say, honestly this blog brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this, you made so many good points. Ted and Sharon are truly people to be looked up to. We have an amazing family.

The Mardesich family is a true family of God. They are a wonderful example of how we should live our lives and forgive those that accidently harm us. God Bless all of you.
