It was going to be the trip of a lifetime. An enchanting trek
through the Guatemalan jungle, viewing the mystical Mayan Ruins, a
breath-stealing sunset from atop an ancient temple, a magical entourage
of a million fireflies. Then suddenly our wonderful adventure became a
nightmare. What followed was a roller coaster of hope and despair that
would span the longest days of my life. As we frantically fought for my
wife’s life, we found ourselves far from the necessities we took for
granted at home. Amid the heartbreaking twists and turns, though, were
encounters with brave and selfless people who made a lasting impression
during a horrific time. Without Explanation is a true story. It’s a
story of anticipated adventure and remarkable courage, of heartache and
disbelief, and of hope and fear. And at its very core, it’s at once a
life-altering tragedy and a story of love and devotion.
