What About Jess?
As for Jessica, she has since gone on to marry her boyfriend Sean and share her story of survival with the world. She wrote on her blog, “I can still struggle with the wish that I could have stood up sooner, been stronger, saved myself and my family in the way that was desperately needed for so long. But I have learned that I did the best I could at the times when it felt like there was no choice. I didn’t know until I finally knew, I couldn’t stand until I finally stood. There is no shame in finally being strong. I am a survivor.” And we can only pray that the family can find a way to completely heal over something as heartbreaking as this. And like what Jackson went on to say, “The whole world has just been turned upside down but we still have each other.” And in the end, that’s truly what matters.
