Wow, Its been 2 whole years since that day in Waukesha where many of our lives were changed forever. some were ripped apart. But I feel like none of us are the same. Its hard to believe its been that long, or that short.

. An amazing day! Tuck was so proud to honor his brother, but so nervous in front of so many people. Told him he could just "lob" it in. But he wasn't having that!! 🤣 He wanted to show everyone he could pitch. Did he ever!

Hey
@maxschachter
, im so sorry for your loss. Our family had a similar situation when the medical examiner testified to our 8yr old son's Jackson's injuries in the

trial. It was like feeling your heart being ripped out. Our prayers are with your family
Ran across this pic and just broke down. God knows just what to show us right when we need it.
#GodIsGood
I feel so guilty moving forward, and i miss him so much every day.
But the truth is, he is in our 💚 every step, and so is God! Seems like a perfect reminder of that.
This one hits home in a special way.
@Jackson23
would spend his nights flying through the air doing wrestling moves, yelling, "I am Braun Strowman!" He loved wresting so much. I can picture that smile of his now. 🥹

Thanks

for reporting the media bias in this case.
Its been frustrating to say the least. Especially for the victims and their families. Here is an excellent example.

#JacksonsChristmasWishes
I feel like it was just yesterday I was playing with Jackson in the back yard. I miss him so much. 😭 I miss his silliness and his questions, and the trouble he would get into. At the same time I want to keep it all to myself, every moment, every memory, ever hug.
Today will be bittersweet. But an important milestone in all of our road to healing. We are just so

, then finished it off with a picture with Santa. 🌲💚
Was a good day 😉
I just dont understand. People need to put politics aside. If these men did this, they are monsters and need to be put away forever. These poor kids need justice. They will never be the same. 😭
Thank you everyone for sharing and nominating. We are excited to announce we have selected our

recipients!
We are super excited to spread Christmas joy to these kids!! Stay tuned for more announcements!

So we dropped
Found this ball mixed in with our BP balls. Sheri got the boys to sign and give to me for Fathers day last year. As emotional as it was finding it, I think it was a little nod from God and Jackson that he is Ok, and we will be OK.

I get it, I know I am biased. But you have my familes vote
@JudgeDorowWI
. We could use a Judge with your patience, integrity, humility and courage on our states highest court.
But I know I can't and that wouldn't be honoring Jacksons memory. So, we hope we can share that goofiness and silliness and help others know that good can and will always overcome if we trust in God.
Erick is an amazing and talented young man! He has overcome so much adversity and won't let anything hold him back from his dreams. So excited to see what the future holds for him.

Erick was criticaly injured during the

attack, so our connection to him and his family is special. He has overcome so much this last year, but it has not
The hero of the day was the little boy who ran to help his mother, who was stuck in the air while fixing the garage door. He was able to lift the big ladder by himself👏👏👏
I know we are not the perfect family, by any means. Jackson didn't deserve this. Tucker didn't deserve this. We didn't deserve this as a community. None of us who were at that parade did!
An amazing Mukwonago family!! And, an even more amazing story of faith and perseverance!
We are truly
#blessed
to have these opportunities to share in love and kindness.
💚We were able to grant one of

to one of the sweetest families we know. We are honored and blessed to know them, even when the older boys teams face off on the baseball field⚾️💚
Juan Pablo has overcome so much at such a young age, yet shines a light so
I think its really special of

to propose this Resolution. And so appreciative that the State Legislature would honor Jackson and the other victims. It means a lot to our family, and i know its means a lot to the other victim families as well

I'd also like to thank the entire Wisconsin House delegation for joining me again this year on a bipartisan House Resolution honoring Virginia Sorenson, Tamara Durand, LeAnna Owen, Jane Kulich, Wilhelm Hospel, and Jackson Sparks.
