Three years ago today, the day we found out you were gone, was the worst of our life.

Tonight, though, your Mom said something wonderful. She was talking to Mike & Shannon, the young couple we're trying to help through a very (very very) tough spot in their lives. She said that if anything good came from losing you — and we both want there to have been something good — it's that our hearts were opened to the possibility of helping people like them.

We'll always miss you, Shane, but we're trying our best to balance that loss by doing good for some others.

I think you'd have been proud of your Mom tonight. I know I am.
