2/08/10 -- One Year Later


Today is one year from that terrible morning when I got the call from Matt telling me that Dad had suffered an apparent stroke while getting ready to attend church. Little did we know how much our lives -- and especially Mom and Dad's lives -- were about to change. But, despite all the difficulties of the past year, the good news is that Dad is still with us and doing pretty well. In a recent follow-up visit to the stroke team in Charlottesville, Dad impressed everyone with how physically strong and mentally sharp he is.

I'm not sure if anyone else is even still checking this blog, but it is somehow comforting to me to keep updating it from time to time, even when (and perhaps especially when) there is no news. In that spirit, my hope is that there will be very little news this year!
