I can't believe that it has been 6 months. It so often feels like that Ang got hurt just yesterday while at the same time it seems like it was years ago. As a husband I am so very thankful for where we are, but at the same time I am so angry that we had to go through this. What we have gone through is the stuff that you read about and never imagine that it could be you. It seems like just yesterday that I got the call saying that I needed to go to Harborview to be with my wife. I remember collapsing to my knees and praying that you were okay. I have always had a plan and going through this has made me realize how truly frivolous our plans are. We had all of our boxes checked; serving in church, being involved in community, etc. Our plans were nothing compared to what was in store for us. It has been amazing to see God at work in our lives since you got hurt.

I am so thankful that there is a vast part of this process that you don't remember but it was so hard to have gone through the first couple of months without you. I am so angry that this happened but I thank God every day that my wife is here now and I can look back on what we have gone through with her. When we first began this journey we had no idea what to expect. I knew my wife and her tenacious spirit, but honestly had no idea how strong she was until we went through this. Pride is a sin according to the Gospel, but there isn't a day that goes by that I am not proud of my wife and how much work she puts into getting back to "normal".

I have had a plan my entire life, but with what we have gone through has brought an uncertainty for us that will continue for years to come. I don't know what normal is supposed to be any more, but I know how precious life is that is for sure. I thank God that He has a perfect plan for us and that Ang will be completely healed one day regardless of what our life now brings us. This is hard to accept, but I believe with all my heart that it is truth.

I know that Ang will continue to heal; that where we are at is just another chapter of were God would have us. I pray that God will continue to heal Ang and that we would some day be able to have a family.

Our time here is short so don't take a second that you have with your loved ones for granted. Make a difference while you can! Eternity is forever, but while we are here we are called to love one another so turn to Jesus and love the best that you can.

Ang- You are an inspiration. Your willingness to share the Gospel even in our most trying time is amazing. It just goes to show people how Jesus can change your heart. If anyone can come back from this I know that it is you. No matter what the future holds for us I will never forget what you have gone through to be here and will strive to be the man that you deserve. I want to love you and to lead you. I will continue to strive to fulfill every vow that I made to you the day that were married and will always be by your side. I know that I have fallen short and ask that you would forgive me. I promise to spend the rest of my life making it up to you.

There isn't a day that goes by that I wish that I could take all of this away, but at the same time am thankful that we have been able to share what we have gone through. I feel broken but built up in Christ and know that you are too. I never thought that I could love you more, but I feel that this experience has helped me understand how truly precious you are. I love you with all of my heart and always will.

I am so thankful that you are here to share your life with me. You amaze me every single day.

I would like to thank you all for your support and prayers and I ask you all to continue to pray for my wife. Pray that the Lord would continue to heal her and protect her and our family from the enemy during this season.

Your loving husband- Meow
