Judson’s memorial bench was “unveiled” this morning, and though there was still work to be done, Jessie and I had the pleasure of being the first to sit on it.

While Jessie then proceeded to play on the adjacent playground equipment, I laid on the bench, staring up at the bright blue sky… 

“How did I get here?” I asked myself.  “How did I end up on a bench in memory of my boy?”
