I am grateful for so much.  The opportunities that life continues to give us to be together and grow as a family and as individuals.

The last four years since the wreck have been crazy, intense, horrible, disappointing, amazing and life changing. We have had high highs and low lows.  There were times we didn’t know how we would make it to the next day, next week, or next month.

What we miss seeing at times is that we are all just passing time and occupy our chairs very briefly. We never know when that time will be altered. The time I have been given with my family is a gift.  We can let our experiences make us bitter or better.  We can be caught up in the darkness of our experiences or be guided by the light of strength, perseverance, and embrace the little miracles of the recovery process.

Some say we have had more than our share of loss. I see God’s light in my family every day. I may not understand the loss, pain, triumphs, and blessings – however I trust in the plan that is laid out for us and endeavor to accomplish as much as I can to live up to the gift I have been given by the miracle and grace of having survived so much.
