Julie and Andy Kemp were on their way home from church with their eight-year-old son, Landon, when they were caught in a devastating car crash. Their vehicle was struck by an ambulance rushing back to its station. Sadly, Andy died at the scene, while Julie struggled to stay conscious. Emergency personnel arrived and managed to stabilize her, but they did not initially realize that Landon was still in the car. It wasn’t until they noticed one of his shoes at the scene that they discovered him, hidden in the backseat due to the severe damage to the vehicle.
After multiple efforts, medical staff were able to resuscitate Landon, who had been found unconscious and not breathing. He was then airlifted to the hospital, where he suffered two more cardiac arrests. The outlook for the young boy seemed grim, and his mother was told that his likelihood of survival was very low.
Doctors warned that even if he did pull through, he might not be able to lead a normal life. Instead, he could remain in a condition resembling that of an infant, trapped in the body of an eight-year-old.
In the two weeks after the accident, Julie faced a heartbreaking journey. As she buried her husband, she watched her son fight for his life. Landon had slipped into a coma, and hopes for his survival were fading. Then, against all odds, he opened his eyes. The medical staff hailed his recovery as a miracle, astonished to find that, despite the gravity of his condition, he had suffered no brain damage.
Now that Landon was awake, Julie felt unsure about how to tell him about his father’s death. She asked him if he knew what had happened, and Landon replied: “Yes, I saw him”. He went on to explain that he had also met a friend of his father’s who had died a month before his dad. Landon mentioned seeing that friend’s son as well. “We didn’t say anything, but we were all just standing there”, he recalled.
Julie was surprised when her son mentioned that he had seen her two other children while he was in his coma. At first, she struggled to understand his words, but then a memory came to her mind. Consider the obstacles Landon faced and the actual details of the video linked below. It is sure to reinforce your conviction.
My wife and I had been called by his teacher for an urgent meeting.
Our six-year-old daughter gave her parents and me a note that she had written. My wife and I cooperated with his teacher’s request to enter the classroom for an impromptu discussion, and she asked us to do so.
When we asked our child if he knew why, he replied, “She didn’t like a drawing I did.” When we asked him whether he knew why, this was his response.
We then continued interrogating him to see if he had any more ideas.
We reported for duty the next morning and began working right away.
His teacher handed him the painting beneath it and explained that she had asked him to depict his family and that he had fulfilled her request in the presented painting. Would you kindly provide me with more details about that?
My wife’s response, which I was expecting, was “Not at all.” A departure from the typical activities with the family. Just a short distance off the Bahamas coast is where visitors can go snorkeling.
