Yes, that is EXCATLY ONE YEAR
Or...12 months.
Or...52 weeks.
Or...1 cancer diagnosis.
Or...1 loss of a father.
OR...1 lifetime, my lifetime...........since my REbirthday


However you want to measure it, this has been an eventful 12 months.


My kids have turned 3, 7 and 11.




If you remember, I wanted to do a few things with this blog.




In general, this blog was my way of thanking everyone who helped save me, support me and help me get beyond my heart attack. I also wanted to help, to educate, to bring some inspiration to someone with my words. Finally, I wanted to give the Forsyth County EMS a little bit of payback.






Hopefully, I have somehow done those things by now.




In fact today, I brought donations to the Forsyth County EMS.
We got to actually meet with the team that saved my life a year ago. How amazing was THAT?


Ashley & I were falling all over ourselves giving thanks to the two wonderful people who are directly responsible for my life. Will & Lauren.....THANK YOU with "my whole heart"!


As we all discussed the day & the events in the ambulance, I was amazed at how much these two strangers could remember about my "run". They knew the series of events, they could remember exactly what equipment and techniques they used.


This picture was taken today during our visit. If you want to read more, go the the Forsyth County EMS Facebook page.

This next picture is the team the keeps me alive; my rehab team of Beverly, Natalie, Theresa and Lieryn . They are simply the best in the business.

To say this has been a wild year would be SO inadequate; there has been some bad, some exciting and a whole lot of good. One of the EMS Directors asked me how my life has changed. I couldn't answer, the list of ways is just too long, too absolute.

I have tried to bring you all along on the ride through this blog. Thanks for joining me.

We only have a few weeks left before this blog has lived out it's life. If you want to see anything particular, or want to hear about any part of the story, let me know.

Good night & God bless.
