Megan, I am Bobby's brother Jeff. I just came across this and wanted to let you know how beautiful it is. Am I reading this correctly that this is a drawing? Wow!! It is surreal for me to think that there are so many people out there who not only know our story but are affected by it. Thank you for sharing.
I am *so glad* that this little essay found you. Your story is such a bittersweet window into the human condition, so I'd like to thank you for sharing it with the wider world. That couldn't have been easy. This is a pencil drawing I made after taking my family to visit your brother's name at the 9/11 memorial -- would you like to have it? Don't feel obliged to take it, but if you would enjoy having a memento from someone your story touched deeply, then I would like for you to have it. It's small, 8x5in (including the border). You can get in touch with me directly at megan.gafford@gmail.com
I was wondering, how do you pronounce your last name? Does it end like "vain" or like "vainey"?
I wouldn't feel right accepting this. It ends like "vain". I am definitely going to share with my parents. Thanks again. I hope you are doing well with those kiddos!!

I hope they enjoy it, too! We're doing great with the kids; our oldest just started 3k preschool 🥹
