From 1 to 60

They were with us on Day 1 ... we did not know them at first ... one of them is a self-confessed G&G Addict ... I suppose the other is in denial ......they are DAngelLove ... they have been praying for us since the beginning.

The first week after Dad's accident ... what we call it the ViolentSilence ... I received this email from Mrs. DAngelLove:

I read your blog every day and send your dad's name up to God several times a day. I'm so happy that he is slowly improving. Yes, slow is best.

Do you have any more news on the young skateboarder, [ ... Sk8ter ... ]? I've been praying for him several times a day too.

My heart broke with the news of the mother and her four young children. Please drop a little update to let us know how they are doing. I've added them to my prayers.

Bless you for all you do. Thanks for helping all of us know how to best pray for your family.

Love, [DAngelLove]

This email, like so many others, had a name but neither a voice nor a face. That uncertainty would soon change:
  • Two weeks ago, we heard the angel's voice on the phone. Mrs. DAngelLove called and asked whether they could stop by the hospital.

  • Dad and Mom were lucky ... they got to meet DAngelLove first ... a loving couple who brought hugs, kisses, prayers, smiles and books ( ... they are in the BookBusiness ... ).

  • This weekend, on Day 60, DAngelLove ( ... all decked out in heavy coats and warm mittens ... ) joined Dad on his walk around the block. If you look closely, you may be able to see them.

DAngelLove, thanks for loving us ... even though we were strangers to you.

World, we know there are other angels out there ... you have emailed us and written cards and letters ... We would love to see you, hear you, or meet you in person ... and especially thank you for your love and prayers. Send us a pic or drop us a note.
