HAPPY 50TH ANNIVERSARY DAD & MOM
50 years is a long time, but they did it. 4 children, 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
We pulled it off without them having a clue of what was going on yesterday. The limo and their friends arrived to pick them up, and the limo driver asks my Dad when he went to the door to pick them up if they were ready, and my Dad told him NO…At this point they still thought that they were headed somewhere to eat. They headed towards the church, and were a few minutes early so the limo driver pulled off to the side of the road and told them that the limo was overheating. The driver played it up good. The driver told them that they would need to stop ahead to get a little water.
When they pulled up to the church and the driver got out and opened the door for them to get out, my Dad just sat there and did not get out for the longest time. They had to be coaxed out of the limo, and when they saw the photographer snapping pictures at them I think it hit them.
They walked into the fellowship hall and their 4 children met them at the door. There was not a dry eye in the building. My Dad said he was going to whoop his 4 children.
It was the best day ever. All of their children, their grandchildren and great grandchildren were there for the occasion.
All the hard planning paid off to see the shock and surprise on their faces when they walked in that door.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DAD AND MOM...
ENJOY YOUR CRUISE...

I am interested in providing encouragement to our veterans and the soldiers who have been wounded while protecting our great country. Additionally, I am interested in providing practical information and insight to assist their families. My name is Craig J. Phillips. I am a traumatic brain injury survivor and a master’s level rehabilitation counselor. I sustained an open skull fracture with right frontal lobe damage and remained in a coma for 3 weeks at the age of 10 in August of 1967. I underwent brain and skull surgery after waking from the coma. Follow-up cognitive and psyche-social testing revealed that I would not be able to succeed beyond high school. In 1967 Neurological Rehabilitation was not available to me, so I had to teach myself how to walk, talk, read, write and speak in complete sentences. I completed high school on time and went on to obtain both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. For an in depth view of my process please read my post, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/my-journey-thus-far/
Through out my lifetime I developed strategies to overcome many obstacles and in so doing I have achieved far beyond all reasonable expectations. On February 6, 2007 at the encouragement of a friend I created Second Chance to Live. Second Chance to Live, which is located at http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com presents topics in such a way to encourage, motivate and empower the reader to live life on life’s terms. I believe our circumstances are not meant to keep us down, but to build us up. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, I speak from my experience, strength and hope. As a professional, I provide information to encourage, motivate and empower both disabled and non-disabled individuals to not give up on their process. Please read my post, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/the-power-of-identification/ My interest is to provide encouragement, hope, motivation and empowerment to veterans and their families
Please encourage your readers to visit Second Chance to Live at http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com and consider adding Second Chance to Live to your web site as a useful resource and placing a notice in your newsletter.
