A Silent Bond

Matt Eich

Ohio University

Exhausted after enduring two hours of temper tantrums and escape attempts at an Ohio University basketball game, Jesse still struggles with his daughters’ disability. “I didn’t know how to accept it. To me, it just hit me real hard. I blame everything on God. I probably shouldn’t. But they talk about how wonderful He is, and to me that’s not a very wonderful person to put me through that.”
