And So It Goes

I noticed I haven't posted anything to this blog in a week. And no news is good news.

Dad continues his recovery process. Being the impatient person that he is, it's not going fast enough for him... but he's doing very well. Every day he feels a little bit stronger, walks a little more, does a few more things. He's adapted well to his new plumbing routine.

While I've always considered us to be a pretty positive family, this has really renewed our outlooks in terms of what's important and what's not. Life changing events have the tendency to do that, I suppose. I'm thankful for every day that I can pick up the phone and give Dad a call and hear how he's doing. Mom and Dad have settled back into a routine that includes working, entertaining, and just plain relaxing.

So, that said, as we return to the minutia of everyday life...this will be the last post on this blog. I cannot even begin to put into typed-out characters how appreciative we are for all the support and love we knew was always there, but shines as a bright lighthouse during our stormy voyage through July and August. I couldn't possibly list out everyone to thank here, because there have been so many people. But if you're reading this -- please know that you're considered a part of our family, and I hope that we will be there for you if you ever need it.

With sincere love and gratitude,
