Today has been amazing..we received a beautiful portrait of Mason that brought tears to our eyes. In the portrait his shirt simply states, University of Heaven with his brown eyes smiling back at us. What a wonderful memory.
Fox 4 News stopped by for an interview regarding Mason's love for Tigers and his desire to improve the tiger cage at the KC Zoo.
The mail brought more tears, a star was named in his honor on April 4 with the International Star Registry. Also, a package arrived from Afghanistan, it was hard to open addressed to Mason. What an AMAZING honor to find out an American flag was flown on March 12 in Mason and our family's honor from the U.S Air Force. Included were 2 military coins, a shirt, Ally hugged all 3 teddy bears and Maverick enjoyed the necklace, magazine and picture of Military dog, Lucky. I am at a loss of words tonight. A friend sent a pillow, that says it best, "Live, Love, Laugh". Thank you everyone for all the love and support. But most importantly for keeping Mason's memory alive. When the going gets tough just look up to the sky and smile knowing Mason is there watching us all.

You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for such a beautiful post tonight. I will miss him, but seeing others helping keep the legacy of his smile and beautiful soul going strong, brings not only tears to my eyes, but a smile to my face. I re-read the story of the brave little soul that was read at the celebration, and it helps bring peace and make sense of what I couldn't figure out for so long. Mason brought so many people together. Just like the story said, we all hugged our kids tighter, opened our hearts, gave all we could and some of us found new peace. We are all so blessed to have been a part of his journey. What an incredbile brave soul he is!
Brandie thank you for saying it so well as I have tears reading this. Andria and Eddie - thank you again for sharing Mason with the world. The portrait is beautiful. The story on the news tonight was wonderful. ~Kathy

I totally agree with everything said above. We have learned to live our lives to the fullest, laugh more often, and show our love out loud for others ... because of Mason:)

We think of Mason many, many times each day and his amazing family. I have shared his story and the power of his blog...that touched people across the world...what an indredible journey you have shared and what a profound and lasting affect this young man has had on so many people who have not even met him, yet we feel like we have known him and your family for a very long time. You will be in our hearts forever.

WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH I WILL LOOK UP TO HEAVEN AND THINK OF THIS BRAVE LITTLE BOY! YOUR FAMILY STAYS IN MY PRAYERS..LOVE FROM LITTLEFIELD, TEXAS...
It was a beautiful celebration at the church. My 10 year old son even cried, he knew Mason from school. Mason and your family changed our lives forever.

From the moment I read about Mason not a day went by that I did not think about him and your family. I still do and probably always will. Large hugs for all of you. Maxine
