As I do every year on this day for the past ten, I celebrate my second chance at life. 12/22/08 at 7:28 AM, I woke up again on the corner of the busy intersection of North, Milwaukee and Damen Avenues, after getting hit by a car going 30 mph, blessed that I was still alive. This particular day at this very moment has not been easy because Taylor is no longer with us, but with the warm embrace of God’s grace, Grace, and our loving family and friends, it’s a day to celebrate. I look back on pictures over the past couple months and am so very thankful for everyone that continues to hold us close to their hearts as we hold them close to ours.

Their best pitcher Yu Darvish is on the mound, with an epic run of strikeouts over the past two games. Will he lead the Cubs to victory? Can he help stop their 5-game skid and start a 7-game winning streak? Time will tell… Continue reading SIX to GO. Go CUBS Go.
