While we were in San Antonio over spring break we were in this restaurant eating and Luke began telling me one of his stories. If you are around Luke a lot you know that he can come up with the most amazing stories and memories out of nowhere. He started telling me this story of he and JoJo. He said they were riding down the road. He and JoJo were driving in their own trucks. Then this big truck started coming right for them. He said he jumped out of his truck, but JoJo didn't see him jump and JoJo was hit by the other truck and he died and went to heaven. I think I was a little floored by this story. When he tells you these stories he is really moved by them like they are actually true. He was really concerned that JoJo didn't see him jump out. I think about it a lot and wonder if maybe he could be feeling a little guilt or if maybe he is picking up feelings of guilt from me. Luke really loves his brother and talks about him all the time. He tells so many stories about him, most are made up, but I think that is all he has. I don't really think Luke has many memories of him, but he definitely feels like he does. I take him to the cemetary at least once a week, and he often reminds me that JoJo isn't there. That only his train is. If I say we're going to see JoJo, he'll tell me "JoJo is not at the cemetary, but I'll go see his train." He's smart as a whip, and tries to clue Jolea in on some of it. She just agrees with whatever he says. Anyway, if you think about it, say a little prayer for Luke.
