Hey Guys,

Thirteen years ago today the world lost a very good person. During the past year I have never questioned God why this happened to me. But I did and still do at times bear down and wonder why he needed Adam right then.

For those of you that didn't know Adam Waddail, he was everything that was right in this bad world of ours. Not only did he love his sweet parents and sisters, but he thought his grandparents hung the moon. We played baseball together, I think we were on the same team from age 6 until our last year. We were in choir and later watch kids younger than us at church. He was just an all around great kid.

Oneof the things I remember most about Adam was him sweating. That boy could sweat through a snowstorm. However, he was a great athlete and played all sports. He could shoot a three with ease and knock a baseball a mile.

People throw the word friend around way to loosely in my opinion. If you were able to be called a friend by Adam you knew you had a friend it for life. He was somebody that you could go to with problems and he would always tell you what he thought. You also knew where you stood with him. If he didn't like something he would tell you, but in a way that it was fine even in
disagreement.

I guess what I'm trying to say is the world was a much better place with my good friend Adam Waddail in it. To Mr. Steve and Mrs. Melanie and Ashleigh, I Love You dearly and I'm a better person because of you and your wonderful son.

Hey Guys,

I apologize for the absence of post. Rehab is going very very well. My endurance continues to increase and we are starting to practice walking unassisted. We are going to New Orleans for Troy's bowl game this weekend.

I hate I didn't get this on here yesterday, but it was Beth Henderson's 39th birthday. She looks fabulous to have raised 6 kids including myself. Happy Birthday Bessie, I Love You So Much.

Hope everybody is having a great day and week.

Hey Guys,

Hope everybody is having a great week. I went for a quick trip to Elba yesterday. I went to George Lamar Collier's funeral. It was nice seeing John and the family, just not under those sad circumstances. Please drop a prayer for them.

Rehab is going well this week. We are doing more and I am recovering quicker, so that really helps. I'm also trying to get in the habit of just wearing a fake leg around all day. As you can expect it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. However, it sure beats sitting in a chair all day.

Talk to you later.

Good Afternoon Guys,

I hope everybody had a great weekend. D and I had a great time Friday night in Troy it was great seeing all of them and catching up.

We also had a good time on Saturday watching the Bama game at Teddy and Lisa's. I really thought we were going to pull it out. It is still great that we are going to New Orleans.

Speaking of New Orleans, my alma mater will be in the dome a couple weeks before the Tide. Troy will be playing Southern Miss on the 21st. This is big for Troy for a couple of reasons. The biggest being how well we match up with a Conference USA team. So congrats guys.

Rehab went well this morning. We are really picking up the pace and continue to get stronger.

Good Morning,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN KIMMEY. I hope you have a good one.

I just got back from having an ultrasound on my abdomen. The doc I went to see Wed. just wanted to see for himself what all is going on. I'm going to go eat lunch in a minute with Mom and some of her friends.

Tonight DeAnn and I are going to the SanBuck Christmas Party in Troy. I'm glad we will get to see everybody from both offices.

I have a great feeling about the Bama game tomorrow. But win or lose we are having a great season.

Hey Guys,

Well I missed another day, but hey every other day isn't so bad.

The doc ran a bunch of test yesterday and gave me an inhaler. He said that the 2 months on the vent could have been tough on my lungs. We should know something soon about the test.

Rehab has been good this week, but today was especially good. We just worked hard and fast and never really slowed down. Some days are better than others and today was just a good one.

I hope everybody is doing alot of shopping and getting that behind them.

Bama still has that big game looming Saturday against those Gators and I won't even talk about the other side of the state.

Hey,

Man I had a goal and broke it in one day. Therapy is going good. We continue to try new things and progress. I have a doctor's appt. tomorrow, but its nothing major. That's all I have on the Neil Newsfront.

Please say a little prayer for Mr. Jack Vaughan's family, he died yesterday afternoon.

I hope all is well.
