Tractor-versary

It's the third tractorversary of my Brian's life-changing accident.

On the first tractorversary, I was wishing we had gone away for the day.  It was "just another day" for everyone else, and definitely not for us.  Sadly, a friend of a friend also died on this day, in a car accident.  He had 5 children, too.

On the second tractorversary, we went to preop for Brian's 9th surgery.  It was a quiet, somber day, wondering why this had to last so long, and why his stupid bones wouldn't heal.

On this day, the third tractorversary...bones are healed.  Brian is trying with all of his might to reenter the workforce.  His body is still not the same, and never will be, but we are finally able to look toward the future! 

Truthfully, I woke up this morning not remembering this was "the day" until I saw someone else post on facebook about it.  That day three years ago, I almost lost my husband.  My children almost lost their father.  But we didn't.  And so...life goes on now.  Finally.  It has stood pretty still these past few years, and though change is scary, I'm glad time is moving forward for us once again.
