He was content just to be there. I read what he wrote.<br />His photo speaks to my heart deeply.

But I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your house in 1995; I can't imagine loosing everything in a matter of moments, just like Captain Brant's life changed in seconds. It is odd how it takes a catastrophe to make us keenly appreciative of what we have.<br /><br />I took a break from blogging also; so much to catch up on, but I will be back soon! Brant is better but still battling pain from the damaged nerves. That will take a long time to heal, but he has a lot of good people helping him to deal with EVERYTHING!<br /><br />Thanks so much for your message!

Oh I didn't know about the Captain...Dear Linda<br /><br />Oh I didn't know about the Captain's horrific accident. Really sorry for commenting very late. While having a break for more than a month, I didn't check fellow bloggers' updates. I have been thinking of you recently wondering if you are doing fine, just waiting for your new post. What a fool I was. <br /><br />Your three posts on him made me think of life, unexpected horrible events, and how to cope with them. Your mention, "Pain is no longer a shadow Demon, because they have met him face to face. They arrive back in their own Universe with a new depth to their soul." impressed me a lot. I once experienced a catastrophic earthquake(1995 in Kobe) in which my former house was completely destroyed.<br />Yes. you are so right! Such events definitely deepen soul consciousness and give us a new perspective on life. Oh his pains! I'm wishing him a quick and full recovery from the pains! Many hugs! ☆sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444996989089740303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775377190247166266.post-76689394551505012172012-08-20T15:18:31.771-04:002012-08-20T15:18:31.771-04:00Flo, I have thought of you often, and wished we co...Flo, I have thought of you often, and wished we could just sit and talk. You said your husband was a Physical Therapist with several "miracles" to his credit, and even though Brant isn't needing a miracle yet (we feel like we have been given our full share of miracles so far!) I know he has a new Universe to chart.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your kindness, and I am so glad your Shoulder Miseries are far behind you!Linda McMullanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281904433011380558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775377190247166266.post-3631981166997989092012-08-20T08:31:02.665-04:002012-08-20T08:31:02.665-04:00Linda, you have written a masterpiece in the middl...Linda, you have written a masterpiece in the middle of your own pain and suffering. I'm overjoyed Captain Brant has arrived at his next stop, where he will meet goals and show measurable progress. I recall going through two horrific, painful shoulder situations a decade or so ago. When I finally got to rehabilitation, the kindness and sympathy coming from the professionals felt so good! The pain of rehab was mitigated by the genuine caring of the people who treated me. Thank you for your beautifully-crafted update!<br /><br />-Flo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775377190247166266.post-14666483600091625112012-08-13T07:31:16.154-04:002012-08-13T07:31:16.154-04:00Linda,
