Hi friends and family,   It’s hard to believe we are coming close to the 5 month mark since Darren’s stroke. He has made so much progress, although this road has had many speed bumps and been at a much slower pace then I would have ever dreamed  of. We do know how very blessed we are. We as a family surround Darren with positivity and try and remind him of how far he has come. This is the hard part, he does not remember anything from the first month, I show him pics and tell him stories to remind him.  My amazing boys and I are continuing to lean on each other as our relationships changes not only with each other but with the people that surround us.   We are still taking it a day at a time but able to look forward  and make plans. Thank you to the friends and family in our lives that have never left our side or judged us for the way we are handling these changes, we are truly doing our best every minute of every day.   It has taken me a while to update you all this late summer and fall, and I apologize for this.     Please continue to pray, send healing thoughts and energy for us.  WE GOT THIS!!! ❤️💛 @ Black Lake
