Letter from Dan:
Eight weeks ago I listened as the doctor told Candi that I would probably never
feel anything below my neck again and the first 24 hours after breaking my neck
would be touch and go. I’m glad
the doctor was wrong and here are many of the positive things that have come out
of this situation:
- Made many new friends with nurses and doctors.
- I met several SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) patients that will change my life
forever and I’m sure they will change many lives that they will touch.
- I’ve sat with a quadriplegic in my home and listened to him tell me how
great his life is and how he is positively affecting kids lives through his
tragedy of 20 years ago.
- I’ve sat with a major league sports athlete and shared Christ with him
and we both have made a strong commitment to be better dads.
- I’ve discovered that I have a father-in-law that loves me
unconditionally. He has been a
stronghold for me and gives in a way I will never be able to truly comprehend.
- I’ve seen relationships restored in many areas that I didn’t know
could be restored.
- I’ve had a friend in one of my darkest hours kiss tears from my eyes.
- An important relationship from the past has been restored and I’m glad
God decided to keep me around to see it.
- I’ve received multiple e-mails from this website that have stated that
people are either praying for the first time or praying again. Additionally, many have shared with me that they are doing reality checks
and reprioritizing things in their lives.
- I have found that taking
time to inhale the biggest breath possible is a great thing.
- I’ve learned that the
only thing to fear is fear itself.
- and finally…no matter
what the circumstance, we always have many things to be thankful for.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be alive and able to share these words with
you. I never thought a broken neck could fix so many broken things
in life. I thank all of you for
your continued prayers and demonstrated love.
Dan
