Happy New Year everyone!!
I know this is almost 2 weeks past NYE, but I’ve been meaning to post an update.
To say that 2022 was the toughest year for our family would be a huge understatement and we are so grateful that the calendar has flipped to 2023 and pray for better things to come for everyone. I’ve posted pictures of how our family has changed from Christmas Eve 2022 to just before Christmas 2023. I do this because there’s no way we could have survived this last year without each other or without all of you. Tiffany and Maddy have been amazing throughout this whole ordeal. No mother or sister should ever have to see or deal with some of the things they have seen. We are beyond blessed that Wesley survived his accident and has been able to move forward in his journey to complete healing.
We also understand that we aren’t alone in dealing with hardships and tragedy this past year and are thoughts and prayers are with all of you that have suffered loss, battled cancer, injuries, hardships etc. Just know that we are here for you all.
As for a few updates since my last update. First for Maddy she completed the fall semester of her junior year at Auburn on the Deans list and has an overall GPA over 3.70, we are so unbelievably proud of her and her accomplishments. Wesley has managed to complete his junior year fall semester with all K level and dual level classes and was recently inducted into the National Honor Society at Cy Fair High School, this is just amazing.
The reason today is the day I write this update, is because today we have another huge range of emotions running through our house. As you all know Wesley is baseball player and absolutely loves playing the game and has been working out and practicing at some level since April. as we are approaching the 1 year anniversary of his accident, February 23, 2022 at approximately 4:00pm, tomorrow he will PLAY in his first game in almost a year. the range of emotions are all over the place, blessed, excited, happy, anxious, nervous, frightened, but mostly thankful that Wesley has gotten to this point. There is no way to know how it will go and know there will be failure and frustration but also success. He will have won once the first pitch has been thrown and he is on that game anything beyond that will be icing on the cake.
Needless to say he is super excited to get out there, pray for him and all others to have a safe and fun weekend playing ball. And pray for him to get though the frustration and failure that is sure to come.
Thank you all!!
Brad, Tiff, Maddy and Wesley
