Jason Christopher Dunn June 5, 1974 - March 13, 1997
Son of Leroy A. and Susan Dunn Brother of Leroy A. Dunn III Father of Chelsea Marie and Gregory Jason Christopher Dunn Fiance of Tammie Lynn Williams Best Friend of Darrin Brahaney
The morning of March 14, 1997 had the most beautiful sunrise I had ever witnessed. The sun rose in the shape of a cross just like this painting....it was just so breathtaking.
I had no idea that my son lay dead just 18 miles away. I had no idea that the world as I knew it was coming to an end. I had no idea that there could be so much pain in my heart and it still goes on beating.....but I soon learned that we are not promised tomorrow.... our children do not always out live us... as we mistakenly believe until we get THAT phone call...or THAT knock on the door and then our world comes crashing down around us. Jason was playing with a gun he knew better...he thought it was empty it was NOT!
GOD in HIS wisdom has a plan.... and we all fit into that plan... sometimes we have to adjust to fit because we do not see the entire plan... only our small part of it. Losing Jason has made me look at that plan and wonder where I fit into it... My son finished his work.... lessons learned... and was welcomed into Heaven to early for a mother's heart... but right on God's time.
He Only Took My Hand
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said "Mom, you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you,
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time,
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand"
