We just celebrated four years of life wi...Kathleen,<br />We just celebrated four years of life with Jonathan on the 10th. When I look at that picture of Cale bending down to adjust the rocket (or whatever) I am truly amazed at where he is compared to where he was when I started following your blog a few months after his accident. When I compare him to other TBI's I follow, I am amazed at how great he is doing, especially with all he has been through (and you of course). If he has come this far, he can continue to improve. I know what this is like as a mother, but I do not know what it is like as a wife and certainly a young wife just starting out with plans and dreams and the sacrifice you had already made as a military wife. I am so sorry that this has happened, but I do know that God has a plan. What has kept me going, with 24/7 care for Jonathan non-stop for four years with NO respite, is that we are here on this earth for a flicker, a moment in time and we are being formed and moulded for life in eternity. Does that make this any easier for you? No, probably not... but how you walk through this matters, and you are doing a great job. I would love to be able to make it all better for you, but all I can offer is my prayers and support.<br />BTW, love the pillows... they are great!<br />VickyVicky Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676220446383663138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136519859792558682.post-52436839149804586482011-07-12T14:11:31.547-07:002011-07-12T14:11:31.547-07:00Kathleen, maybe think of just a weekly blog, rathe...Kathleen, maybe think of just a weekly blog, rather that daily....or even bi-weekly. I forgot to mention the pillows. They are wonderful. Remember all things are done in Father's time. That means when it's time to get the book done, you will. :) MarionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136519859792558682.post-61010607916867525722011-07-12T14:06:49.868-07:002011-07-12T14:06:49.868-07:00My Sweet Kathleen!!

And every little bit of a step is a miracle from where they said he was going to be. And as for this "home" thing with Cale if he is confused with his ears and eyes how much more is he confused about his surroundings. We will just have to pray harder for him to remember he is HOME>..We love you darlin' girl..Keep up your spirits and we remember how many people are praying for you!!!The Bensonsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136519859792558682.post-11093532308104665032011-07-12T03:08:45.922-07:002011-07-12T03:08:45.922-07:00Kathleen - You guys have been through so much - th...Kathleen - You guys have been through so much - the exspectations that you have of yourself are amazing ! LOVE the pillows!!!!! and to think the beautiful flowers came from old sheets ~ It's kinda a " While you were sleeping moment " This blog is so uplifting and inspiring that I am sure it does take quite a bit for you to continue to do it- you are faithful and we who read you continue to come and find out just what has been happening in your world - because we love you and we love that you are faithful...to us, to Caleb, and most importantly to the Lord! It may be time to give yourself a vacation from the blog,everyone needs a time of rest, I like Mike's idea.... writing a blog and working on a book take a lot of energy ~ you are an amazing woman ! So glad Caleb is still remembering and also encouraged to see that he is slowly finding his way, but steadily finding his way .Continued prayers going your way from the Cape (and you KNOW that is not just lil' ol' me .....:) <br />LOVE the quote !!!!!! Just resinates choice doesn't it ? and being accountable with what we have been given in life, wounds are hard and often ugly ~ but the wisdom we take away from those wounds is a gift that we can share with others.....THAT is what you are doing ! ((())) Hugs for you and Caleb!!!! Love you guys!!!!!

Well, keep up all the hard work! I come here as often as I can, and always when I need to stop my pity party. You guy's have gone through so much and are still so strong! It's really amazing and inspiring! Thank you for showing me that life is precious and worth going through the hard times to get to the good ones!<br />- Mike Edwards (Kevin's brother)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
