IT WAS 1982 - the healthiest and happiest year of our fifteen-
year-old son, Jonathan, since his first of four brain surgeries
nine years before. Bob, Diahann, Jonathan, and I loaded our
suitcases into the trunk of our 1978 powder blue Buick and sped off
to New York City on a summer vacation. Among the list of stops was
the huge, copper-clad lady standing knee deep in the New York
Harbor. At first sight, her magnitude was awe-inspiring and
indescribable. We rode an elevator upward to the base of her dress
and slowly strolled around her perimeter. For reasons known only to
God, I took a photograph looking heavenward. The Lady only was in
the picture with her right arm stretched up as far as possible, her
torch of freedom a beacon of hope for all men. This miraculous
picture was never perceived until over a month after Jonathan had
passed away on April 16, 1983. The image God branded on the
statue's dress was the same we had observed thousands of times
since 1973. It was Jonathan's face with a blanket covering him. The
object missing was the ice pack that had been placed on his
forehead to help "freeze out" his innumerable headaches through the
years. What comfort from a loving God, proving that our beloved
Jonathan was finally free while his body was sleeping, awaiting his
Savior to come and change it to a glorified one.
