friends

April 6th, 2008 by mike

i watched the video again because one of the side effects of a brain injury is having a bad memory and i couldn’t remember what i saw the first time and I was reminded again of everything ive been through. i appreciate all of you so much and i want to thank you for being there for me. ive come a long way.

thanks to karl, matt, jimmy, herzig, mike v, chrissi, danny, thomas and austin, rastad, shannon, kristen hicks, amanda elbisi,  bobby and brian hannifin, lyndsay, rachelle, becca, amanda kibben, and jessie seeber for sending love my way this week.  i think I have the best friends ever. you keep me motivated and you give me strength.

and as usual i cant thank you enough nate and sylvette for just being there. i couldnt do this without you.

i know that i have a long road ahead of me.  i feel accomplished but i know it’s not over yet. its an uphill battle that starts at the bottom and by the looks of my jeep that’s where i was. i know i need your support to get there, but im going to make it to the finish line.

    thank you for continuing to fight mike. if you werent so determined, so headstrong and hell bent on becoming not only the person you were, but even better than you were before the accident, we would have no reason to continue sharing with you how proud we are. you could have chosen to give up this fight a long time ago mike and many people wouldnt have blamed you. but i guess if you would have done that you wouldnt have been a rosner, huh? your daily progress seems so amazing to me. i can only imagine you are the ten times the person you were when i saw you at mt vernon on december 30. i wish i was close enough to visit with you and see first hand how you are progressing, but thankfully this website gives me a good idea and doesnt cost $3.32 a gallon. i would offer to swim with you next time i come home but im too afraid you will put a beat down on me in the pool and i wont be able to keep up with that training regiment. hold it down brother. see you may 31 when im home next.

    I am so glad to hear how far you’ve come. I never doubted you for a minute; after all they do not call you Iron Mike for nothing. Just keep climbing that hill named “Recovery,” you’ll reach the top.

    I’ll be in town sometime in May. I will definitely get by to see you then.

    I do not even know you and you are so inspiring to me. A friend of mine knows you and keeps us up to date on your progress and reminds us to pray. I have been following your progress for many months now. I just finished watching your video I feel overwelmed with all that you have accomplished and all the support that you have gotten from family and friends. God is good and the power of prayer is real. Keep up the good work. The smile returning to your face says it all. May God continue to pour blessings upon you and your family and your friends.
