Special Needs Children / Music

 
"I think I would have liked Jeff alot," writes a former neighbor after reading Journey With Jeff while on a trip to Texas. "There were so many things that he and I shared! His love of music. I studied the trumpet at Eastman School for a few years and often thought that I would make music my career, but that didn't work out. When I read about how much Jeff liked 'The Wizard of Oz,' it brought back some wonderful memories. I used to watch that movie every year without fail, alonside my mother when she was alive. When I was a child 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was one of the first songs I learned to sing. Sadly enough, even the date of Jeff's passing (October 12th) is the same as my mother's.~~~ The book is quite the inspiration and I am sure that many will learn and benefit from your insight, strength, and the example of your willingness and dedication to leave matters in God's hands. I can only hope that someday I can be as obedient to God as both you and Bob were during those most trying times. A relationship with God is something that we really have been trying to get our kids to take part in. Our teen-age daughter is starting on the right path, but her brother still needs some prodding ~~~ and prayer.~~~ When we were in Texas we went to Sea World. They were having a special event for kids with disabilities. One of the kids and her parents sat next to me in the stands and I nearly offered the book to the mother. I had read only about 2/3 of the book and I really wanted to finish it. From what I had already read, I wondered if the book would have been an inspiration to them. I'm sure it would have been, and I feel a little guilty about not offering it, but I am glad that I had the opportunity to read -- and finish -- it.I'm sure there will be others that I can offer the book to that will also benefit from it. Thank you so much for the book. I sincerely enjoyed it!" More than 500 copies of Journey With Jeff are Out There now!! Many have been shared by families and friends. We are so blessed when people tell us of the inspiration and encouragement they have found from reading this book. Thanks, Craig!
