You feel guilty because you can't help enough, or if you feel hurt by you don't feel like it is fair to complain and at the core if it all this is your dad.<br /><br />That's the purpose of this page...understanding what everyone is going through. I hope to hear from you more.Dean C.

I wish it could have been a blessing growing up, i did not fully understand or maybe care he was so needy we fought alot growing up, it was hard and now i feel so bad for him, thanks for letting me ventAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193966077813929290.post-89456556955132651452011-04-13T09:46:22.303-07:002011-04-13T09:46:22.303-07:00I know that they would love the support.

I am impressed every day and I only wish my father was able to live to see some of the advancements.<br /><br />You are an amazing individual!<br /><br />I look forward to seeing your book, so I do hope to be notified when it is out and available!<br /><br />DeanDean C.

Yet that was the reason I had started it in the first place, to help others with their pain.<br /><br />I am sending you an email.<br /><br />DeanDean C.

I would like to ask for some information, if you're comfortable doing so. What type of physical therapy did he do, and for how many weeks, months, or years. I'm really interested in the time frame of each step of his journey, and if he was able to have home care, and how home care would be possible. Also, if progress ever took place. Please let me know if you’re comfortable discussing this with me.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Jennifer HartsockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193966077813929290.post-41038559621912927172010-10-07T22:01:18.935-07:002010-10-07T22:01:18.935-07:00Sarah,

I knew my "Aunt Sam" (as we called her) touched many lives, and that she put her heart and soul into caring for others, despite her disabilities. She made sure that when you looked at her, you wouldn't see that chair. Thank you for you kind words. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Sarah GilesSGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901383540854571632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193966077813929290.post-99718026010430932010-10-07T10:48:38.688-07:002010-10-07T10:48:38.688-07:00Sandra was truly amazing and to read her bio on he...Sandra was truly amazing and to read her bio on her blog says it all. I only just recently met Sandra over the internet through my blog and hers. We spent time speaking about being a quad and things related, but also on her life as well.<br /><br />Her husband Jerry is a true hero, her caretaker and husband of more than 20 years. It is he who I feel for the most in this. I know she is whole again with the lord dancing and for that I'm comforted...I hope Jerry can find the same...<br /><br />Thank you Ruth.<br /><br />DeanDean C.
