The Jazz Bear

WOW!!! What a great memory we will have after this event! The Utah Jazz mascot...aka "Bear" made a very special visit to Seth today. It started by greeting Corbin and Jenna when they got off the bus....well sorta, Jenna didn't get on the bus...but we'll get to that. When the school bus pulled up the Bear van sped towards it lights and sirens going and out jumped the Bear...from the TOP! Kids started getting off the bus and the Bear hugged the all! The coolest part for me was Corbin getting off and arms in the air yelling..."this is freakin' awesome!" Then we watched for Jenna to get off....soon realizing she was never on the bus! So, Bears driver put Corbin, Darin, and Bear in the van and sped off to the school to get Jenna. Lights and Sirens blaring and picked her up! It was fun. When they finally arrived home, Bear quietly came in the house and immediately went to Seth's side. Seth has had a bit of a rough day today, but I felt like the Bear calmed him some. He brought Seth a Boozer Jersey...in his size that was personally autographed especially for Seth. He also brought bags for the kids with shirts, balls, mini Jazz bears, and a wrist band and hat. It was adorable. Bear sat with Seth for a LONG time. He held his hand and just calmed the room. It was special....I wish you could have all been there!

As for the rest of the day....just resting, hand holding and a little one on one time with those around him. I can't begin to express my love and appreciation for all the kindness you are all showing Seth at this time. He is a fighter, strong and brave. I believe it has been one of life's greatest privileges to be his Aunt! Hang tough little buddy! I love you to infinity and beyond!
