I love this idea! The Brain Injury Recovery Foundation is near and dear to our hearts. They recently opened DEFY Neuro Rehabilitation, which is making a HUGE difference for Mason.

If you can spare a moment, please hope on over to Chief Meteorologist Mike Collier’s page and mention the Brain Injury Recovery Foundation to see if we can get them a $1000 donation. 🙏

Comment “Done!” to let us know that you did it. 😊

This hashtag hits me differently every time I see the posts start to come across my timeline(in the VERY limited amount of time I spend on social media😂).

This is my second post on here announcing that Mason will graduate this year. The first one came a full year after his original graduating class crossed the stage. Even typing that still feels surreal.

I never imagined I would be TRYING to plan my 30th class reunion in the same year I am finally able to say my son is graduating. That contrast has been more emotionally challenging than I thought it would be.
Graduation is supposed to feel like a clean milestone. A right of passage. A moment without hesitation. This has not been that.🤷🏻‍♀️
I have been slow to post because of all the what ifs that live quietly in the background for me. What if something happens. What if he does not get to again. When you have lived through loss and uncertainty, celebration never feels simple. It feels layered!
There is pride here. Deep pride. Mason earned this diploma through resilience most people will never understand. Through loss. Through relearning. Through courage that showed up even when joy felt fragile, for us ALL!
There is also grief. ❤️‍🩹 Because this moment exists alongside everything that was taken. Both are true. Neither cancels the other.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am proud of the man he is becoming. And I am learning that honoring this moment does not mean pretending it looks the way it was supposed to.

He sure looks good, though! 😍🙌🏽😍🙌🏽

Mason, your sense of humor is top notch as is your ability to purposefully annoy me 😍 I see the renewed spirit you have since starting DEFY Neuro Rehabilitation and all of the physical and cognitive progress happening. I see a spark that I have been praying fo. I love you so much. You deserve all good things, Bupp!

Welcome to all of you that have recently started following Mason’s page to join us on our journey that began 1,302 days ago.🥰🥰🥰

Justin posted this on his personal page yesterday & I am so thrilled for Mason to have his Make-A-Wish is become a reality. 🥰🙏🏽🫶🏽:

I received an exciting call on Friday. Make-a-Wish is looking to grant Mason’s wish for a prayer chapel in our backyard this spring!

Make-a-Wish doesn’t cover electrical work, drywall, or ground-prep/leveling of more than 6” so we are looking for some help. The drywall is covered but we could still use help with the groundwork (we need to build a retaining wall and bring in some dirt) and with getting electricity installed.

If you’re interested in helping us with making Mason’s wish come true, please message Justin directly! 🙏

Follow-up… we found them!

The internet did its thing and we were NOT ready (in a good way)! The messages, the shares, the comments, the love… it has been so much to take in, and we’ve felt every bit of it. Because of YOU, we were able to connect privately with one of the men in the video, and we got to tell him exactly what that moment meant to us as Mason’s parents. He was incredibly kind, very humble, and honestly a little overwhelmed too. Unsurprisingly, he isn’t looking for any special recognition and we will honor that by leaving he and his friend un-tagged and un-named.

What they did wasn’t planned or for attention. It was pure, genuine kindness. They didn’t see a wheelchair or a diagnosis. They saw our son and a fellow Sooner fan. They treated Mason like he was seen, valued, and included. As parents who worry about how the world will treat our child, that moment restored a piece of our hope for the journey Mason never asked for. Most likely don’t know this, but Mason’s AVM rupture rendered him bilaterally deaf. He was 100% responding to the vibe, which actually makes the moment MORE impactful.

We truly believe that God shows up in moments like that. Not directly, but through people who are able to see others in His image and who act accordingly to His likeness.

So instead of names, we want this to be about the example they set. If this video moved you, leave a message, a kind word, or a prayer. Let’s honor the moment without turning it into something it was never meant to be. The guys in the video are now following Mason’s story and will almost certainty see your comments.

To everyone who has loved on Mason and our family; thank you from the deepest place in our hearts. To our new FB followers, welcome and thank you. We’re so grateful you’re here with us and hope you’ll follow along with Mason’s story and help us continue raising awareness about AVMs, the challenges of caring for loved ones with complex needs, and what inclusion looks like.

Internet…please do your thing and help us find these guys. My momma heart NEEDS them to know what this moment meant to me and properly meet them, if possible.
They did what most ppl are afraid to do, which is treat someone like Mason as if he is “seen” and valued. These guys restored my hope for Mason to meet decent incredible people along the journey he never wanted. Side note…they definitely match my energy. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Boomer Sooner! We decided to take Mason down to SooneRVillage in Norman for the OU vs Alabama playoff game. We didn’t feel like we could make it through the game with him so we didn’t even try to find tickets, but we wanted to give him the game day experience.

SoonRVillage is about 1.5 miles from the Ga***rd Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, so we’re going to try to catch a ride to the stadium on the CART handicap accessible shuttle so Mason can experience everything that the pre-game environment has to offer.

With that said, this still isn’t easy AT ALL. There are so many things we wish we could do that we just can’t. Not to mention the WIND that is trying to destroy our canopy. I set it up this morning to cook breakfast and had to remove the side walls by 11:00am because they were going to be torn up. Aside from our mobility concerns, we also have to worry about where Mason can potty. Our plan is to empty his bladder before we take off (assuming we get to).

We were hoping that we might be able to hang out with friends or fellow Sooner fans, but that seems less likely as the day goes on. While the situation may not be optimal and we might not get to do the things that we had envisioned, we are still DOING things with Mason. We’re trying to live the life that we’ve been given instead of giving up and staying home. We owe it to Mason, Cayde, ourselves, and to God.
