One Year....................................


Those are two words that you could write a novel with. First, I would like you all to say a prayer for the Andress family. They lost a wife, mother and sister on that day.

February 26, 2008. It it truly amazing how 5 seconds can change your life . It never crossed my mind that the few words I said to my pal Jerry DuBose were almost the last I would ever say. You all know the story so I won't go there. We have come such a long way in 365 days. I know it has been written countless times on this blog about the support we've had along the way. We definitely couldn't have made it without you. It sure makes me feel blessed knowing I was on prayer list for Georgia to California.

Mom is at the conference she was leaving to go to that Tuesday. That group has helped her out so much and took a huge load off her shoulders early on. Thank you so much folks for helping her out.

Thank goodness Dad had Miss Vanessa. If he wouldn't have had her there is no way he could've stayed up there with me. She made everything seamless.

The whole family was just so fortunate with jobs that they could come and give Mom, Dad and D some relief. I can't even begin to thank Mom's brothers and sister for all the support and visits. My sweet mother-in-law went way beyond what she needed to do. You all know I have the best family ever and if I ever doubt it this wreck reaffirmed my thoughts.

I guess I wanted to tell you all one more time that we really appreciate all that has been doing for us and the continued thoughts and prayers. What would we do without friends. I don't think I could be doing any better. If I come as far in the next year as I have this year everything will be wonderful.

FINS UP,
