What a special Mothers Day!! We got permission to take Kevin on an outing for the day. He actually got to leave the hospital grounds for the first time since Jan 26th! We decided to have our Mother day outing at the St. Pete Pier. It was Kevin, Maya and I, and mom and dad. Everything went absolutely flawless. We strolled the pier, went to the aquarium, grabbed a burger and an ice cream cone, then back outside to watch some folks fish and enjoy the view. It was perfect! I'll never forget Kevin reacting to hearing music on the radio for the first time in over 3 months. He was bobbin' his head...lol Its little things like that, that make you think... wow what else has he missed out on all this time.
I couldn't have asked for a better day. It was definitely one of my favorite Mothers days...granted I've only had 3, but still. Thanks to my folks that helped make this day so special for us. Mom, thanks for always being there for me in the good times and bad. I couldn't make it through this without you and I love you sooo much! I also wanted to say thank you to Ralph from Progressive who went up to see Kevin this weekend. I can already tell that Kevin's short term memory is getting better because he remembered your visit even after the next day. I saw your name on the visitor log so I asked him who came to see him. He said Ralph did and is going to bring him back some ribs to eat one day....lol!! That made me laugh.

Hey Kevin, That was a fun day. I really enjoyed watching you have yourself a good time. Boy did that valet parking guy snooker me huh! But that is OK, we got to go past all of those nice boats at the Marina before getting to the Pier. Great walk for me and exercise. I think you were enjoying the Aquarium too Kevin. I know you enjoyed your Burger and Ice Cream Cone. You deserved that Buddy. See you again soon, I think we may go out again and see a new Venue this time. Maybe to the Mall, and in August for your Birthday you are going to get to go watch the Rays spank those Red Sox right there at the TROP! You keep working hard Kev, you will be home in no time at all!
What a beautiful picture of the three of you! Following your story has been so inspiring to me. With each picture you post, Kevin looks stronger and happier. I know God will continue to bless all of you. Be well and be happy!
