The loss of a child must be the most devastating experience a parent can go through. We can hardly fathom the possibility.
For Julie Kemp, this occurred more than once. Her son Landon, though, kept coming back from the other side.
Everyone was shocked by what Landon said to his mom after returning from the dead.
After church, Andy Kemp, his wife Julie, and their 8-year-old son Landon were in their car when an ambulance crashed into them. Andy died instantly, and Julie was severely injured. Landon appeared unresponsive in the backseat, and rescuers didn’t notice him at first.
When they found a child’s shoe, they realized Landon was there. He wasn’t breathing, but after a few minutes, EMTs revived him and rushed him to the hospital. He died twice on the way but was revived both times, despite severe head trauma. Doctors warned Julie that he might survive but would have the mind of a baby.
Miraculously, after two weeks in a coma, Landon woke up and could see clearly. Julie then asked him about his father, and Landon’s response left her speechless: “I saw him in heaven.”
“Daddy Dance With Me” wasn’t just music—it was a love letter, a thank-you, and a goodbye all wrapped in one. Toby couldn’t hold back the tears… and neither could anyone else. This Father’s Day, we remember that raw, beautiful moment—a daughter honoring her hero. Your daddy’s looking down on you, Krystal. And across the country, soldiers and fans alike are wiping their eyes. We all miss him.
