(Please Note the song "He's My Son" should play as you read through the page.) This is a very special song, if you can't hear it here are the lyrics to it.
 
I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs your help
I've done all that i can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure you can understand
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill up her eyes
         Chorus~
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel all right?
If you can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See he's not just anyone
He's my son
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there
         Chorus
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel all right?
If you can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See he's not just anyone
He's my son
Can you hear me?
Can you see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son

Last But Not Least A Note From Mom:
 
I have so many people to thank for all the help, prayers, and support they have given us. Unfortunately I can't mention everyone, but you know who you are.

*First of all I have to thank God for sending me one of his Angels, and for choosing us to care for him, for giving us the trust to watch over this little angel.
*I also want to thank my husband.  I know I wouldn't be able to do all this without you.
*To my dearest Son for helping me to appreciate what I have in life. For always finding a way to make me smile, for giving me the strength I need, and for being the light in my life, my heart, my life, my everything. You've helped me to be strong, but most of all you helped me to believe in Miracles. I am so lucky to be your Mommy. Words are not enough to describe how much I love you.
*To my beautiful sisters Sophie, Stacey, I'm so lucky to have you for my sisters. You guys are amazing aunties, and you know Timothy loves you two so much.
*To my wonderful brother and sister in law. It's great to have you guys in our lives. Thank you for everything you do for your nephew.

*From the bottom of my heart I want to specially thank Colonel Yoder. Words just can't express how grateful I am for all your help, support, and understanding.

*A very special THANK YOU to Dr. David Austin for the amazing care you give Timothy.  We truly have been blessed to be able to have you as Tims PCM.  I really don't think you realize how much you do for us, and how much we appreciate you and thank God for you.  You are an amazing person, and you truly go beyond your call of duty.
* To our friends Jake, Jessi and Carson- We really are blessed to have you in our lives.  Thank you for always being there for us..We love you guys so much!!
*To my husbands Command, and especially to 1st Sgt Sublett for your great support, and understanding.
