What a trooper...

This is a picture from the wedding of Travis' parents, Bonnie and Sam. I wanted to post a little bit about them. About a year and half ago, sam had a stroke in his right eye, called an ischemic optic neuropathy. This has nothing to do with the brain, it just happened in his eye-not his brain- and he lost some sight from it. It improved slightly over the next few months, and Sam learned to adjust very well with his partial sight loss. A few weeks ago, we received a call that Sam had another stroke in his left eye. He went to a specialist that confirmed the same thing had happened in his left eye that had happened in his right eye. He has very narrow optic nerves, and it just happened. Needless to say, we all were pretty devastated. Sam's whole life changed in a matter of a days. He is unable to read, use the computer or drive (3 of his favorite things to do) But I must say, Sam andBonnie visited us this past weekend and we were AMAZED at Sam's positive attitude! He was wonderful! He was very upbeat and tried to help in any way that he could. We are so impressed and so blessed that he is handling this with such grace and dignity... what a role model! We are very excited about them moving here in December and are ready to help in any way that we can, We love you Sam and Bon!
