Second year Day 362 - Tuesday December 10, 2013

It's getting closer to Bridgett's two year anniversary of her wreck.  She calls it her Alive Day!  She said, I have a birthday and now I have an alive day too!  She says...it was almost a dead day--but it's an alive day--so we should celebrate!  I'm not having a lot of crying and stress like last year and I think it's because we are focusing on celebrating and thinking about all of the good things; it seems positive and productive! I'm looking forward to Saturday and having fun with everyone!  Also, I'm busy writing up a recount of some of the spiritual experiences we've had during this time.  I want to give a copy to the many family members that will be there Saturday.  I will mail out copies to those who can't attend.  I've done my share of crying as I've prepared this account, but those are a different kind of tears.  Tears of happiness, tears of feeling the spirit, tears of joy.   Still tears that wear you out, but in a good way. I've arranged a special menu for the family at Mimi's.  They said whenever they have a group of 25 or more, they encourage people to narrow down the menu; this speeds up ordering and insures that they have extra of those items.  I confirmed the menu today and everything is set for Saturday!
