Thoughts
We continue to watch you and the small progress you are making. Progress is a good thing and we pray it will continue. You have been agitated and wanting to bite your index finger. You are making it bleed and it is all swollen and sometimes infected. The doctor came to check you and gave you antibiotics for the infection and valium to relax you. It is sometimes most difficult to watch you day in and day out and feeling so helpless. I want to take you in my arms and hold you and tell you everything will be okay.

Well, here it is June 19th, the BIG DAY, and your father and I had to be at the gym by 5:30 to meet with the dignitaries and your classmates. We marched in with the dignitaries and the teachers and then watched your classmates walk in. It was very difficult being there without you but we believe in our hearts we did the right thing. They presented everyone with their diplomas and saved yours for last. It was so powerful Aaron, and the entire gym went crazy. Mr. Mulvihill after calling everyone else came across with a very loud, pronounced voice AARON GEORGE HILL. Your Dad and I went up to receive it and I could not believe the response. Everyone stood up and was screaming and clapping and yelling GO RED, WE LOVE YOU RED. AARON AARON AARON, It was the most unbelievable experience of my life. Some day I hope you will be able to see the video of this and come to know how truly special you are.
Today is June 20th and someone very special is coming to visit. Barry Gabloff, your mentor in Mrs. Wyman’s pre-school class is coming from Maine and will be spending the afternoon with you. He is looking forward to seeing you and plans on coming everytime he is in Jersey. The visit went very well and you looked at Barry and smiled and we both knew you were aware of who he was. I took some pictures and plan on sending him one to keep. He said without a doubt you will come back from all of this and that time is on your side. He believes you have the will and the spirit to fight this and in my heart I believe it too.
Today is June 21st and it is 13 months since your accident. But who is counting. One day at a time and maybe tomorrow will be the day. It is all about you and when you are ready.
Tomorrow is June 22nd and Daddy and I are finally going to use the gift certificate you and Melissa gave us for our 25th Anniversary. We are going to NewYork and visit some wineries and sight see and just relax. We know you are in good hands and will be well taken care of. Melissa is coming to see you and she is bringing a CD of the Harry Potter movie for you to listen to. Daddy and I will be coming to see you on Monday on our way home. We will miss you but to be honest I am exhausted and hope to pull myself together and get some rest. These past few weeks have been very emotional and draining. We are only a phone call away and if anything happens we will be there within a few hours. We love you Aaron and for now I am going to say goodnight.

I have been very busy planning a big party for you and your friends at the center. Jeff, the director has been wonderful and extremely instrumental in helping me do this. It is on Father’s Day, June 15th and there are approximately 100 people coming. It is to celebrate your life and bring all your friends together to celebrate this special time. It is not how I envisioned things would be but fate has a way of throwing some curve balls when we least expect it. The room will be done in green and white and we are having music and hopefully a good time for all. I am praying you will wake up and be able to enjoy every moment with your friends.
On June 3rd, 2004 we will be going to the high school for the Scholarship awards. We have decided to give 2 scholarships to students in your class in honor of you. It is all about who you are and they will go to one girl and one boy. They have asked us to come and make the presentation but emotionally it will be very difficult for me and Dad. So, we have decided to ask Mrs. Salomone to make a speech and Melissa will be presenting them to the recipients. I hope they will be as honored to receive them as we are to give them in your name. We will be there in your absence and pray that one day you will be able to look back and come to realize that you have made a difference.
