My Heros


This is a news clip of my parents story on KSL. I couldnt help but just cry when I watched this. And even though its been almost 20 years since my dads accident, he still is my hero me every single day. Despite this tragedy, my mom was also able to find the positive and create a happy childhood for us. Our family doesnt feel like we were cut short by having this happen.... we feel so blessed for what we have learned about the value of life. I cherish every single day that I spend with the people I love. No matter how difficult life may seem.... I always know that after the trials come much greater blessings. Watch this clip to be inspired!

Lindsay.. I am bawling right now. How touching. It is good to be reminded of this story and how we can apply the lessons your family has learned to our own lives. There isn't a family I love more... I just love each one of you and I am SO glad we have stayed close. I feel like I can talk to your mom ANYTIME I see her. Sooo inspirational.

OKay that totally made me cry. What a wonderful piece on them, and it is great for more people to know their story, I think we often lose site of what is important, and this story is a great reminder.

Oh my gosh, this was SOOO neat to watch. I've read the book and heard the story so many times, and I'm still crying.

Your parents are both SO amazing. They are hero's in so many ways. Your dad is such a sweet heart and I adore your beautiful mom.

I also loved the old pictures of them. They are/were so cute!

Your parents are such a great example of over coming adversity (a topic of the talk I just gave). I love to know and see people take life and make it better no matter their situation.

Amazing.

I love you!!

It is always so amazing to hear your family story! Makes us remeber what matters, and how much the lord really loves us all. With him we can get through anything.

I loved seeing those old photos! I still remember your family coming and speaking to our seminary in Junior High and reading The Lost Season. I was so touched by your families story, and still am to this day, I think your family is such an inspiration!!! Oh and how crazy that it happened on 9/11, I didn't know that!
