just an update. i really appreciate all the support here. i really do.

i'm realizing that i've still got mom in my head and heart, and no one can take that away, and that is really starting to help me. this thing really hit me hard on all levels of my being - mentally, spiritually, and physically. we're amazing creatures and while i wondered if i was going to be able to bounce back, i'm now realizing i am bouncing back. i want to thank God for giving me a strong spirit that always comes back, my family, and all the archers and bowhunters around the world who have offered prayers, support, understanding, and those who didn't complain 1 bit when they had to wait 3 weeks for their strings and just said don't worry about it - just go be with your mom. now a bowhunter waiting 3 weeks at the start of the season and still offering support and understanding - and not 1 complaining - that's what kind of people bow hunters are and i'm proud to be associated as 1.
