Stay strong, Jenn.

Many hearts are with you now, and forever.

Jenn, I am so, so sorry to read of the loss of your husband, Jason. Just remember that you are not alone as so, so many people care about you, and are sharing in your grief. And, we care about you here at Flopping Aces, and I for one, feel honored to have met you, even if through the internet. I do believe justice will be done concerning Jason and his fellow comrades, even if it takes some time. But, for now, I pray you will find strength and comfort through those who love you, and they will hold you up during this time in your life.

Not to be trite in any way, I thought of this poem when I read your posts about Jason and how you are feeling right now. It gave me strength during a difficult time when I was needing some comfort many years ago. I know you’ve seen it, but I hope it helps at this time:

Footprints in the Sand

The Lord replied:
“My precious child, I love you and would
never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you.”

Jenn,

Thanks for comment #80. I was actually suggesting you submit a “[Reader Post]“, and not just a comment.

How did the interview go?

I hope you are holding up and staying strong.

Thank you for keeping us informed. Televising the memorial allows the American people their opportunity to mourn and pay respect. We can be there in spirit for you and the loved ones of those we lost and remember the wounded and their families. I won’t miss it.

Jason Dean Hunt was born August 25, 1987. He is just under 4 years younger than me, but he was almost always more mature than me. He loved me and my children with all his heart, I knew it, everyone knew it. He loved heavy metal, playing video games like Guitar Hero and shooting games, as well as being a big fan of World of Warcraft(WOW). He was known for being very quiet and always wearing black, but once you got to know him, he was the sweetest person ever. He loved Dr.Pepper and anything I cooked(I’m not a good cook, but he always told me I was, he never complained). He would die for anyone pretty much, he was my hero. We met at Walmart in Norman, Oklahoma in September 2005. I fell for him as soon as I saw him and we became instant best friends. I never got up the nerve to tell him how I felt about him, and he told me he didn’t like me when I asked him, so I started dating someone else and ended up married. I was married for 3 months when my husband left me, broke and pregnant.I lost contact with Jason for a while when he joined the military but on Thanksgiving 2006 I received a text from a strange number and it was him. Through texts I told him that I had been in love with him since the moment I met him and was always too scared to tell him. He confessed that he had always felt the same. A month later he was given leave for Christmas and he came to see me. We started dating and have been the love of each others lives ever since. We have been through so much together, including a 15 month deployment. It is so hard to think that he was taken from me somewhere he was supposed to be safe. We were married August 22, this year, 3 days before his birthday. It was a beautiful wedding and everything I ever dreamed of. He is the love of my life, my soul mate, and no one will ever live up to the standards he has set. He was God’s gift to me, I know he was made just for me. As I said in my vows to him, I will love him love after death, and I mean it.

Jenn,

The photos are beautiful….and of course, heartbreaking, in light of what has happened. Thanks for sharing these.

If you’re up to it and when you’re ready, I’d welcome a reader’s post from you, giving FA readers a chance to get to know more about the husband you just lost, and the young patriot who the country just lost. Tell us anything you’d like about Jason (and you and Jason). Help us keep the memory of his life, alive, and in the hearts of those who never had a chance to get to know him, personally.

Just to let everyone know, the pic of Jason and the little boy is his nephew, not my son.

I will put a link to some pics when I can.
