It’s been a year since Eli’s accident…

A year of trauma, a year of miracles, a year of adjusting, a year of promise, a year of pause to life as we knew it.

It’s been filled with hope, new beginnings, setbacks, love, heartache, new life, joy, thankfulness, immense support, and complete trust in God.

Eli is literally a walking miracle and has defied all the odds. We are thankful to God every day for that!

Our lives have mainly been on pause as we have processed the physical and emotional trauma. You could say it’s been like the honeymoon year we never had. (We hit the deck running when we married in 2014 with work, ministry, writing a book, remodeling a house…whew!) This has been a year of hanging out together, getting adjusted to our new life, driving 15,000+ miles for medical care and being together all the time. It’s a good thing Eli and I like each other so much!

We now are coming out on the other side, with deeper faith, better connected to each other, and beginning to do what we love again. Gail has started back with Art Sozo and feels so privileged to facilitate others on their own healing journey through art. Eli is going into work and working from home and hangs out with his buddies when he gets the chance. He might have an amazing scar, but he is the same funny, witty, thoughtful, steadfast, and deep thinking guy we all know and love.

We want to thank you for being on this journey with us and keeping us in your prayers. We have felt so loved and honored by the support. It made all the difference to know we weren’t in this alone, but were being carried by God and others.

We love you!

Eli & Gail
