This is a photo of my nine-year-old son Julian climbing Indian Rock a few weeks ago.
Yesterday Julian fell out of a tree. He is in intensive care with a skull fracture and some other serious injuries. We have every hope that this will be a hiccup rather than a detour on his road through life. Still, no parent ever wants to hear what Julian said to me, “Daddy, I’m damaged and I will never be repaired. I want to die.”
If my photos have touched you, if you believe in the power of prayer, please pray for Julian and my family.

21 Oct 2006Hi Harold, I just wanted to wish you and your family well. We went through something similar a couple of years ago (http://graemef.com/blog/archive/2004/04/10/698.aspx) so I have some idea how you must be feeling. Be sure to keep us updated! Best wishes to everyone, especially Julian.
