My family knows a little something about catastrophic illnesses/injuries and we feel for you as well. It's amazing how a person can suvive, adapt and still find a good life for themselves in spite of unbelievable hurdles. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, it means a lot. I'm sure you know that we have our challenging days. I do think Stefie is extra stoic and that she will live a fantastic life. God has blessed us, most definitely. It sounds like you're family has been blessed to get through a lot of challenges as well. At least we found our strength in the most unlikely of places...at home.<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-76055998357287911742012-01-25T07:04:09.257-08:002012-01-25T07:04:09.257-08:00Having been thru some of what you experienced, my ...Having been thru some of what you experienced, my husband was in a motorcycle crash when we had only been married a few years and he lost his left leg, and again had a bad fall three years ago and had a brain bleed with two brain surgeries, I agonized with you as you wrote this post. <br />You and your daughter are survivors. Some of us are. You'll be okay. I just know it in my gut.<br />She's beautiful and on her way to a brilliant successful life. God bless both of you.<br />Barb<br />www.barbwhitt.blogspot.om<br />Writing: the ups and downsB.

Us moms will always remember such days. As your her leaving home, I guess our gals have fled the homestead!! I'm actually excited for my daughters and hope they keep making their way in this world. I'm always here, just in case.<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-68701400002377583152012-01-16T13:06:55.293-08:002012-01-16T13:06:55.293-08:00Your post brought back the memories of last June. ...Your post brought back the memories of last June. My daughter was in an accident. I had a feeling & thoughts that day that cause worry & tug at your heart. Like I knew something was going to happen. The call came hours later. As you said you don't want to even go there. The pain you feel when you get the news is something no one should go through. I still get sickened when I think of the events that day & as I drive by the accident site each week. As you decribed her angel my daughter had a Christian couple who only lives a few miles from us witness her accident & pray with her as help came. So good there are people willing to stop pray & comfort when we can not be there to hold our child & do the same. Letting them go is hard. My Laken left home back in October. Prayer lifted for safe traveling. Blessings &'Hugs!<br />LaraA Primitive Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205375008312950661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-39646549165346750032012-01-16T12:13:51.198-08:002012-01-16T12:13:51.198-08:00Glynis --- I will be okay, just have some adjustin...Glynis --- I will be okay, just have some adjusting to do. Deputy Dave and I have so many things to keep us busy right now with busting our rears every day to get the house on the market next week...I'm thankful to be kept busy and have such wonderful things to look forward to in the near future. And I'm having fun reading your blog.<br /><br />Susan --- I've been trying to hold it together this week. Writing the blog was difficult. I can't even tell you how many times I've tried to write about that car accident and had to delete it. Finally, I was able to write about it because it was combined with a great continuation of her life moving forward as she goes back to a life...away from home. I'm painting the banisters of the stairway today, so I'm trying to keep myself out of the momma-funk. And Stefie is indeed a strong young woman. My kids have been through so much in these past ten years that I can't even express how proud I am for always rising above their circumstances. And her angel is a person I'll always hold a special place for in my heart.<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-20232061249280026292012-01-16T07:27:30.811-08:002012-01-16T07:27:30.811-08:00I don't know if you were crying when you wrote...I don't know if you were crying when you wrote this post, but I sure was crying while I read it.
