The danger with writing alot is; you risk diluting the message.
The same can be said for the way time dulls the intensity of reactions to shocking news.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Do you think that's true?
If I asked you again, would you think the same thing you just thought?
As Kathy adjusts to life in the REALLY slow lane, she has time to change the first impression that people get, to move ahead of where she was.
This is encouraging to those of us who have been with her since the accident.
It's a little misleading though, to anyone who missed where she came from.
It's easy to look at Kathy and see that, other than a cast on her right foot/leg and a left leg that won't quite work right, she is as beautiful as she always was!
What's the big deal, right? She's going to be fiiiine.
I hope you're right.
I tell Kathy that she needs to be patient, that she will recover, that I'm not full of s***, naively spouting optimistic encouragements.
It's like watching a puppy grow; If you see that puppy every day, it doesn't seem like it's changing much, but if you didn't see it for a week or two...
Kathy doesn't see her improvement the way you will when you see her.
You will leave with the impression that Ted is one lucky man,
and you will be right!
