” After 77 years of marriage … I really think none of us really know what it’s like for him right now”, said Jason, who is one 22 children. ” We have to embrace that fact, that there’s things about the spirit that you just ca n’t understand”.
Jason recalled a recent visit where he admitted that he had no idea how to describe his father’s situation when questioned.
” And he kind of smiled and he said,’ I do n’t know, myself,'” said Jason. ” It was quite nice”.
