About Me

My photo
My husband and I were living the picture perfect life after 5 years of marriage when he was hit with a massive stroke in 2010. He ended up having a craniotomy and was left paralyzed on the left side and legally blind. I was 9 months pregnant at the time with our second child. He was in the hospital for 3 months 4 hours away from us. It has been a roller coaster. Although we never wished this to happen, we have seen so many blessings in our life since his stroke. We are trying to learn all that we must and trying to keep the faith and have a positive attitude. This blog is a place that I can share things that I have learned and continue to learn.

Reflecting on 2 years ago

I have just been looking over the pictures of Kary from two years ago and it's such a miracle that he is where he is right now emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I love this time of year as we get to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. Also at this same time since it is so near the onset of Kary's stroke 2 years ago I can't help but reflect on that event as well.

Tonight our son said our family prayer for the evening and like he does every time he prays he asked for Daddy to be able to move his left arm and leg. We are happy to report to you that Kary is beginning to be able to lift his arm up from his shoulder out. Kary told our son that he knows why he has been able to lift his arm up recently. He told our son that it was because of our son's prayers in his behalf. Our son has bronchitis right now too and he prayed that he would get better. After Kary told our son the reason for his arm raising, our son replied, "Yep, we just have to have faith." Out of the mouth's of babes. I'm so glad that our son has a testimony of prayer and that God hears and answers our prayers.

I want to take the time to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support. It means the world to us. We have truly been blessed to have so many wonderful people be a part of our lives.

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and again offer our many thanks for all of you and your love and support. May we all let Jesus into our lives and experience the joy that comes from following His ways.

Much love,

Kary and Sharee Smith Family
