from Uncle Brian

Uncle Brian has been on Hiatus. I don't really know what hiatus means but I like saying it. (go ahead, give it a try). It also makes me feel smart when I use it. I asked my neighbor if a hiatus was a vacation to Haiti. For a brief moment I thought he was going to strike me. He told me to stay away from his kids.
Just this morning I was telling my parole officer (just kidding!) what a remarkable story this is. From the moment of impact on that terrible day to this wonderful day, there has been a tremendous human effort aimed at willing and praying Courtney back to full health while also supporting her family. More proof of that,,,,
I went to Walmart today to pick up a tea kettle ($8.78 if you need one and it's the CUTEST little thing!). Of course, I was driving one of the "Please Pray for Courtney" mobiles with the big sign on the back window. As I returned to my truck, I noticed a small card pinned under the wiper blade. The card was approximately 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" inches and there was an image of the Virgin Mary on one side. As I flipped the card over, I could see someone had written a note. It reads as follows, "We prayed for you, Courtney. God bless."
One last thing. I'm not convinced that Courtney's first words were what her mom reported. Not that I don't trust Diane it's just she could have misheard. I'm quite sure Courtney's first words would have been, "Where's Uncle Brian?"
But that's just me.

Love you all, UB
