For the record, I've said it before, and I'll say it again- we thought you were amazing before this. You just prove it again 1000x over.<br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023650171330174929.post-11165341922971300082011-09-12T18:58:36.044-04:002011-09-12T18:58:36.044-04:00Mar, your comment almost made me cry. Thanks for ...Mar, your comment almost made me cry. Thanks for everything -- all your support and cheering me on, even from afar! Love you too!<br /><br />Rocco, In a way, I'm really glad that you had to rehab your knee...although I do feel bad when I see you icing it after a skate! I can't imagine skating without you (and Susan, too!). Plus, you're my best person to draft behind so I might need you to practice with soon!<br /><br />I've thought MANY times about the people I'd never have met if I hadn't been in this accident. Amazing people -- my prosthetist Tim, my PTs Deb and Colleen, my surgeons, nurses... the list goes on and on. It's strange to think I might have gone through life without knowing that they even existed. It's a little ironic, but my life has been enriched so much by these special people that I can't imagine NOT knowing them!<br /><br />So yeah, great point. There are lots of positive "What ifs" too!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837248029569317654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023650171330174929.post-74847241739479613392011-09-11T20:18:24.131-04:002011-09-11T20:18:24.131-04:00Somehow my post didn't get saved.

No preconcieved notions. They asked quesions that we are sometimes afraid to ask and I'm greatful for that. Ok, so I might not have asked if your leg has voice control, but that's how kids think. They know about voice control, but not prostheses (is that the plural?)<br /><br />Life is full of "What ifs". We can't dwell on them, but I know that can be difficult. How about a positive "What if? What if I never tried inline skating? I would never have known Rebecca and that would be my loss. Ironically, I was rehabbing my knee after surgery and I asked my physical therapist what the next step was. He said, "Since you ice skate, go out an skate" It was easier for me to inline instead of going to a rink.Roccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017912862768312067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023650171330174929.post-27353097597210624822011-09-10T20:30:58.292-04:002011-09-10T20:30:58.292-04:00Again, another beautiful, heartfelt post.

While Brianna may remember you with two legs, everyone will be lucky to know you. You are kind and compansionate, beautiful and intelligent and an amazing person who demonstrates more determination and strength than most people are capable of with both legs.<br />Love you.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415510898538729277noreply@blogger.com
