Me writing this post!Thanks to all who reached out to me through this blog, or other means, since my 5/23/09 car crash.
My simply saying "thanks" doesn't really convey the heartfelt emotion that I have felt.
As I've already told a few individuals, prior to visiting the blog, I understood that one's family and friends care; however, when I saw the blog (and cards), I was truly overwhelmed (blown away) at the amount of well-wishing and promises to pray for my recovery. I think I was confronted by the difference between the concept and the practice of expressing love.
The difference is huge.
Again, thank you.
God is a great God and He is answering your many prayers for me. I have been home for about a week or so and continue to go to therapy. I think I'm improving; however, I'll leave that assessment to my medical professionals and my remarkable wife, Carol.
Sincerely,
Andy

Hi Andy!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to hear about your continued recovery! How amazing! Heidi relayed to us how good you looked when she visited you. I am finally returning to work in a couple weeks after extending my maternity leave. I am excited to see you back in the office soon as well. Take care and keep up the good work!
