Happy You’re Alive-versary Cory! Today marks 5 years of living with a spinal cord injury; a life in a body that doesn't cooperate. I was hoping to share some profound retrospection from Cory or I, but I just haven’t put those thoughts down yet.

I found myself during my 25 mile bike ride this morning thinking what if something happened to me during one of my rides? What if I don’t see a pothole and go over my bars? or a 40mph crosswind knocks me off the road and I go flying off my bike? Or a car swipes me? I just kept thinking please let me have hand function, let me have my independence. I envisioned what life would look like if I were in a chair too. I know my imagination cannot come close to what Cory endures each day.

Cory, I’m glad you’re still with us even if I don’t have a nice way of showing it sometimes. I love you.
