What a week for Blake...last Friday he graduated from THS, and this Friday he perfoms in a dance recital....two things we believed we might never see! There are pictures of both events posted. Only by the grace of God and many, many, many miracles, was he able to accomplish them!

Blake was fortunate to have graduated with a class of AMAZING friends. I have never known a more compassionate, thoughtful group. If anyone doubts the future of our country in the hands of young adults, they don't know the Thomasville High Class of 2008. They have visited, supported, and included him in so much. They even gave him a standing ovation when he received his diploma...in spite of a strict "no public disturbance" rule. Needless to say, Blake was beaming from ear to ear!

Before his accident, Blake had completed 10 years of tap dancing at the Dance Academy. This year, I gave him a choice: physical therapy or tap dancing. He chose to take another year of tap. His recital is this weekend...just ANOTHER miracle! Usually the seniors do solo dances, but this was something Blake was not comfortable with, so another senior, Alex Taylor, was kind enough to do a duet with him. She deserves a BIG star in her crown for all the extra time and practices she put in!

We can't begin to thank everyone for their prayers, visits, and kind words - just know that your actions do not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful for our families, friends, and even those we don't personally know who have supported us for almost two years. We love you all.
