He became a friend, a kind selfless piece of comfort, and at times a shoulder to cry on because he understood what it was like to feel helpless and hopeless as a parent.
There is so much that will never be told about how awesome RJ is. RJ was a vital part of my son's road to recovery. RJ took care of my son as if he were his child. He looked at my sweet baby and did not just see another sick baby. He saw himself, he saw his son, he saw a hurt mother who cried every day, and was depressed as if it were her skin. He saw more than just another child in his care, he has taken so much pride in taking care of my sweet baby boy. He became a friend, a kind selfless piece of comfort, and at times a shoulder to cry on because he understood what it was like to feel helpless and hopeless as a parent. I can truly say that RJ has restored my faith in mankind. He has shown me that no matter what a person's race is, or where a person is from that we are capable of compassion, kindness, and most importantly love for a fellow man. RJ could see the fear in my eyes and the sorrow in my heart. I feel confident when I say that RJ is an exemplary human which is why he has earned the time for me to write this. Thank you RJ for caring for my baby. I will always be grateful.
