You have shared such wonderful and heartwarming thoughts and feelings with us.<BR/><BR/> You wrote......." circumstances we couldn't have imagined being able to endure" None of us can imagine it either...Just can NOT imagine . You have handled it all with such grace and amazing strength. <BR/><BR/> I am so happy you and your husband have been able to help, console and strengthen each other. I am touched as well by all the other blessings you point out. I am sure there are none who are sharing this journey with you who have not benefitted by or been blessed by having their eyes opened just a little more to just how fragile life is. How important it is to let those we love know we love them. How to place value in each other and in the little events and miracles of each day.<BR/> <BR/>It is wonderful to read of the fantastic progress Neil is making!! I pray the infection gets brought under control soon.<BR/><BR/>SO very glad you finally found his wallet and sneakers! It is unfortunate you had to have the worry over them all this time.. not that they were main priority I know..but they are Neil's and you needed to and should have them. Thankfully some one was able to find them. I am so glad about that.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing so much with us! We are sending healing energy and prayers and love..love...love and more love to ALL of you!

It left me frustrated and stressed. I sat down to catch up on emails and blogs and came across your post through Molly's blog. (I am a friend of Molly's, also living in Arizona.)<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for taking the time to write those sweet thoughts and for sharing such a powerful testimony of a Heavenly Father that indeed does know us individually and would never leave us comfortless.<BR/><BR/>I pray for your son... by name... and for your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421010450128978599.post-39464105542609365892009-02-06T08:53:00.000-05:002009-02-06T08:53:00.000-05:00Hello Lori,Our family is praying for your dear son...Hello Lori,<BR/><BR/>Our family is praying for your dear son, Neil.

So many people love him and care about him. Everyday I have people asking me how he is and telling me how concerned they are. Hundreds of people are sending so much love and so many prayers his way. It's no wonder he's recovering so well. I'm extremely glad he's sustained no injuries to the neck and they were able to remove the brace. I can't wait to hear more good news :]. Love and prayers are with you, your family, and Neil always.<BR/><BR/>-ArtieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421010450128978599.post-24094314007821832242009-02-05T23:21:00.000-05:002009-02-05T23:21:00.000-05:00Your insight and your ability to clearly express y...Your insight and your ability to clearly express yourself is amazing to me.

Thank you for sharing your heart and helping us all realize the hidden blessings that come in trial. You truly are a wonderful source of strength.

Thank you, Thank you for sharing. You have no idea what your meaningful words do to lift all of us. We laugh as we remember Neil and his antics and we cry as we follow along with his story. Cry sad tears as I ponder all the "what ifs" and cry joyful tears with each tiny piece of good news. I am so glad your mom is coming today. <BR/><BR/>Love, Meredith and familyMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074719431414508374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421010450128978599.post-22166403791932132592009-02-05T16:51:00.000-05:002009-02-05T16:51:00.000-05:00Wow, Aunt Lori, that was beautiful.

I think we have all taken the opportunity to really reflect on our own relationships and especially our own children. <BR/><BR/>The progress may be little but for all of us who are too far away to witness it for ourselves, we can hold tight to every little bit that you give to us. <BR/><BR/>I love you! To Uncle Scott, Neil, Alison, and Eric, I love you all too! MollyMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06994461954315155742noreply@blogger.com
