Apology and Reminder (1/4/07)

Friends of Josh,

I am sorry to not have posted in a long while. I can explain...

In the road to recovery, Josh went from 0% - 70% pretty quickly, relatively speaking. Now, he is in the cumbersome process of fine-tuning all of his movements and reactions back to normal. Because of this, 'new things' are not happening every day. Also, in a way, life has gone on for the Chandler's as they are trying to adapt back to normal life. I know Josh is ready for that day!

Anyway, I had the chance to visit Josh last weekend at his home in Columbia, SC. He looked so much better. Even though he would disagree, he had come a good ways in progress since I saw him last in Charlotte in August. (I will be posting a picture later, hopefully with an official update.)

Please keep praying for Josh. When tragedy strikes, many people want to 'be there' for the family. However, after the initial shock goes away, many times the people do the same....they go away. Josh and his family still need your prayers. The challenges keep coming for them. I don't mean to portray them as if they are in despair every day, because they are not. But be careful to remember them in your prayers and in your actions. Calls, visits, and cards mean more now than they did 4 months ago!

In Christ,

Brandon
