We can't possibly ever express our gratitude and appreciation enough to truly acknowledge what you have done and are still doing for us.

I have a request. Years from now, our kids will want to know that we did everything humanly possible to find their dad. What I remember and what our families remember will be insufficient, because the effort of the last few weeks is the greatest demonstration of collaboration, selflessness, care, and kindness that humanity has to offer in the face of an unimaginably difficult situation, and that’s what I want them to know. I need your help in preserving this experience.

If you could take some time to write down, from your own perspective, what this experience is like for you, what you did, what you observed, what some of your thoughts were, etc., I’d be grateful. It can be as long or short as you like; it can be in any format (e.g., writing, pictures, voice recordings, etc.); it can be detailed or from a bird's eye view; really, it can be anything you’d like to contribute. And please, if you did anything, big or small, hiking, biking, repelling, operating a drone, reviewing images, distributing posters, or simply came to show your concern, I'd very much like to know, as long as you are willing to share.

For those of you who know Philip, if you could also write, anything you like, about him, a memory, an impression, or an interaction, and it can be funny, serious, or just plain weird!

I desperately want a way to remember all of this because I know that I will lose it. I want to bottle up his sense of wonder, his childlike glee, his gentleness, his boundless energy, and his exuberance for life and for all adventures. I wish there was a way to perfectly capture it, so the kids and I can revisit and drench ourselves in him and in those qualities of his. But we all know that as time passes and the days blur, the things that we think we will never forget will start to become fuzzy and fade. I and the kids need all of you to help us remember.

Please email me with anything you come up with at: .

With the deepest gratitude and love, Jen
