you want the truth?

Ted - (Bear with me here)
I use this blog as a way of shouting to the world about my crazy love for this girl!
I will write a real update soon, but for now I have something to say about Kathy.
Since she hasn't read any of these posts yet (she is waiting until things slow down and her head is clearer), it will be uplifting for her to look back on details she won't remember later.

Absence DOES make the heart grow fonder. Chalk it up to the great care the girls have been giving Kathy or the body's mind-boggling ability to heal, but even drugged up and in a hospital bed, this girl is Sexy Beautiful!!!

The way I figure it, there are really only two tragedies in life;
One is to not get your heart's desire, The other is to lose it. 

I think about how close we came to losing Kathy.
It's easy to forget about how much blood she had lost.
When things were so critical right after the accident, it didn't matter to me if she lost her foot & leg,
I just didn't want to lose HER.
Now that I see such remarkably encouraging results, I get greedy for her,
unrealistically perhaps, wanting so much.

The room that Kathy is in, these posts and the mood of all who visit are reflections of her great personality. It's impossible to be less than optimistic around her! We do everything we can when the pain is really bad to get the girl we love back on track.

I don't mean to lessen what has happened, or make it appear that Kathy doesn't have a long hard road to a place she may not think is where she should be, but it could have been worse.

She might not have known how many people's lives she has touched.
Things left unsaid would remain that way forever.
Her injuries could have prevented any real enjoyment of life.
We could be planning a funeral instead of a different future.

Kathy was lucky.
We all got lucky.
 I am the luckiest guy I know!

I have avoided both tragedies in life.
