A long weekend

Adam had a long weekend with a lot of visitors. On Friday after another day of therapy, Derek and Jaime Ness took Adam and Dad to an Atlanta Braves game. I hear that there were fireworks afterwards! Then on Saturday, Joey and his dad, Gale, were there. When I talked to Adam on Saturday they were hitting up Bruster's, the super wonderful ice cream place they have in Atlanta! Adam said they walked around the park where the hotel is and just hung out. Tonight I called him around 8 and he had just woke up! Said that they got up early to eat breakfast with Joey and Gale before they headed back to Indiana and after they left, Adam took a nap. It was much needed since it was around 7 hours long! I just hope he sleeps tonight!

Mom attended the walk/run today for County Employee's. This years walk/run was dedicated to Adam. Once again, we are blow away by the amount of support YOU ALL have given Adam. You all are amazing people and I pray that God bless you as much as all of you have blessed us! Thank you!

Tonight I leave you with a quote that has been on Adam's facebook page for a while, but it's a quote that in the early days of Adam's accident that someone pointed out to me....and I think it pretty much sums up why he chose to serve our community!

"Make a place in your heart for those who put service above self; For they understand that freedom requires a sacrifice that the protected will never know."

Thank you to the many that protect us on a regular basis. Thank you to those that protected Adam the night of his accident. You will never know how much your sacrifice meant to us that night.

  1. Hi Adam,
    What's the weather like in Atlanta?? Well, just enjoy it, because its chilly and rainy here again today. Hopefully by the time you get home this crap will be done with and it will be nice and sunny. Won't be long now kiddo. So, just keep doing what you are suppose to do and be good. You are still in our prayers and it seems like that good man upstairs is still listening to us - so many people care about you Adam, and that has to be a very good feeling for you.
