SIX YEARS AGO TODAY!

I am trying to just acknowledge this day as a day to be grateful for all the wonderful people that have come into and surrounded our lives since Jess' accident 6 years ago. We have been so lucky to have the people who support Jess in his recovery stay by his side for so many years. John (OT), Tracy (Speech), Joan (acupuncture) and Beth (cranial sacral) have been with us since we came home from the hospital. We are extremely thankful for their devotion and love to our Jess.

We also have three part time caregivers now that are so wonderful and take such good care of Jess. Bryan has been with us a year now. We appreciate him more than he will ever know. We just hired two more very compassionate caregivers, Dora and Maura a couple of months ago. It has been a bit of a struggle to let go but Chris and I can finally feel at ease going to work and getting some things done around the house without keeping one eye on Jess.

Life seems to go on and six years has gone by pretty fast it seems although not without many mountains to climb. We appreciate the extra help but we are still waiting and praying that something will change for the better. Six years ago today was the day our son left his physical life and emerged himself into a dream world where hopefully he is experiencing far more joy than we could ever imagine.

Thanks for checking in and still supporting us with your thoughts!
