10th
August 9, 2009
Today is August 10, 2010. That’s obvious to most of you. But yesterday, August 9, 2010, was exactly one year after my mother’s unfortunate stroke. I look at her today and remember her from one year ago on this very day and the change and progress I see in her is monumental; a true miracle from God at how far she’s come and recovered.
I’d like to give a warm shout out to the therapists and Floyd Primary Care who have earned a special place in our hearts in lending her a helping hand. While she still has some time before she’s fully recovered; a year ago today she was hospitalized, unable to walk or speak properly and unable to even write. While she could understand everything we were saying, she was unable to communicate her thoughts to us.
She’s able to communicate much better now, though she sometimes still needs a translator, and she’s as active as she was before.
I love you Mama. You mean the world to me. You’ve not only been a mother to me but you’ve also been a father, a friend, have supported all of my talents, and are probably my biggest fan. Thank you for always being there for me in a way no one else could. Much-like I spoke of Daddy in my Father’s Day blog; you are also one of my biggest heroes.
