We are all thankful first of all to God, our family and friends.  For all the wonderful support over the past year, so many of you have been there for us over the past year when we all needed it most.  We are thankful to all the doctors, nurses and hospital therapist that helped Matthew when it was needed most.  We are especially thankful to God for putting Spencer in out lives and really getting things moving in the right direction with his experiance and guidence and completely positive way of looking at things.  We are thankful for our own health and the health of family and friends and for keeping us all safe.  Of coarse we are thankful that Matthew is still with us and that he continues to heal and come back to us day by day week by week, and that continued healing and improvement in his overall being is something that inspires us, keeps us motivated and moving ahead to a time when we can all look back on this and appreciate the miracle of life and keep us aware of how fragile it really is, to appreciate one another every day and to appreciate every single day no matter how down things become one must always look around, beyond there own problems and see the true meaning and miracle of life.  We see it daily with Matthew,  maybe not every moment but when you first don’t see it, you look back a second time and there he is, smiling or making some sound that almost comes out as a word or sentence as he’s looking right at you and you know he’s trying so hard and he hears himself and you see the happiness that brings him, or when he reaches out and grabs you or gives you a pinch just to get your attention and touch him, talk to him, play with him, that’s the kind of things he’s doing now, and to most it doesn’t sound like much but when you look back just a week, a month, two months and so on you realize he’s come far and we all know it’s just a matter of time, all part of the process.  I am especially thankful to Lisa who with her strength, determination and energy keeps me and everyone else going.  We all owe a special thanks to Lindsey for all the faith and hard work, determination and love you have brought to our family and Matthew.  It’s been incredable to witness the love between the two of you.  I see what Matt see’s in you and he’s so very lucky to have found you and still have you by his side.  We all feel lucky to have you as a part of our family.

I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday and take the time to reflect on life, your families and friends and everyone around you.  Appreciate one another please.  Keep the faith!
