Thread to call attention to craz4u3 and her amazing Mother's Day gift

[devinmom]

I was so touched by this post on another thread about mother's day plans that I wanted to make sure others are more likely to see it. Amazing! Congratulations, and Happy Mother's Day, craz4u3. I hope your son keeps taking those babysteps.

I am going to have the best Mother's Day of all. Last Friday, my oldest son was released from the hospital after 3 very long and difficult months. He was hit by a car on February 10th, and had been hospitalized ever since. He was in a coma for 2 of the 3 months. Throughout that time, I never left his side except to come home to sleep for a few hours each day. So today, we're going to have a quiet day at home with him and I couldn't be happier. He still has a long way to go in his recovery, but we'll take it a day at a time. Remember to always count your blessings, and be grateful that your children are here. I came horribly close to losing one, and am so fortunate that I didn't. Happy Mother's Day all!

You know, this totally touched my heart.


It is so true, and really puts things into perspective, doesn't it?


Craz4u3, you are truly, truly blessed. What a great day for you!

Thank you "mom" for sharing this, I hadn't seen it. This really was a great Mother's day!

Wow-I can't even imagine that. What a blessing, we all need to be reminded just how blessed wea all are just to have our precious children by our side.

This post definitely brings reality back to me. The fact that her son is home with her and recovering is a miracle! What a beautiful Mother's Day gift, one that's priceless.

What a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day or any day for that matter! I hope your son continues to do well.

That is great news about her son. I so agree with what she said about counting your blessings. You never know if something horrible will happen. I thank God all the time for blessing me with my two boys. I came close to losing a son too (complications after a surgery) but after another surgery he made it though.

What a beautiful Mother's Day gift.

I am so touched, Devinmom, at your throughtfulness! When my son's accident first happened back in February, I had posted a thread about it asking for prayers. Obviously, you all came through because he really is a miracle. Yesterday's post was my first since the original thread because I was at the hospital all day every day. The local paper did a story on him the other day. They had heard about him through his college newspaper and wanted to do a followup. Here's the link:

Again, thank you all for your prayers. Please keep him in your prayers as we still have a ways to go.

[devinmom]

Wow, craz4u3 - that is one inspirational story! Sounds like you have a wonderful son, too.

Thank you to devinmom for bringing this to our attention and to craz4u3 for posting the article about your son's story. I hope your son has a full recovery. You had the best Mother's Day ever!

[craz4u3]

Thank you all once again! It really was the best mother's day. I actually cooked dinner myself but didn't mind at all. It was just so wonderful to be finally all together at home. My son still has a long road ahead, but we'll just take it a day at a time.

I hope he continues to recover-what an amazing story!
