Thank you all. Some days I am also not sure how we have made it though in such good spirits, but I am grateful beyond belief that we have.

Yesterday, strangely, was a more difficult day for me emotionally than the actual anniversary. I think it has a lot to do with actual memories from the incident, yesterday I kept thinking about one photo from a year ago today. It is a photo of my son and me when he first got to visit me, I see the sadness in his face and it makes me well up with tears knowing how scary it was for him and how helpless I was. Even at that point my memory is still very foggy but I know that he was scared and just trying to understand what happened and I imagine all I was able to do was offer groggy reassurances and try to show how happy I was to see him through the pain and sedation. I have been giving a lot of thought about what it would have been like for them at that moment or if I hadn't made it and I am glad that I did.

I went out last night with a friend who was instrumental in the support of my wife and son and me throughout the whole ordeal. I talked with him about the tough day I`d had and we talked about those first few days after the accident. There is so much I don`t recall at all; I knew (very vague memory) he was at the hospital reading to me the second or third day but I had no idea him and his wife and another close couple visited on the first day.

But I`m just rambling and processing thoughts and events. When ultimately I just want to say another thank you to all of you.
