Lillian's Story

This has been the most incredible year of my life, at least the last 9 months. My youngest daughter was in a car accident in August and had to be air lifted to Denver we spent two weeks at a critical care unit the first week on deaths door...we prevailed and moved on to an acute facility for 2 weeks then to Craig Rehabilitation Hospital for a month. Jenna is making an incredible recovery we are very blessed. She has taught me more over the last 9 months than at any other time in my life. I had no idea the strength you can find when you think you have none left. Jenna is an amazing individual and has been told by her caregivers she is a miracle. I have always thought that but she has proved over and over in these past months what a true miracle she is. We had prayer circles across the nation and even in foreign countries, never underestimate the power of prayer...it brought both Jenna and I through some very dark days. My children have taught me my greatest lessons in life and I am thankful for both of my girls. They are truly amazing in so many ways. I have the most incredible husband in the world and he has supported me through this very difficult time in so many ways and I am so grateful to have him to share life with...he is my every dream come true and so much more. We have 3 acres in Bayfield just east of Durango CO, we have lived here for 5 years, and we share our home with our two beautiful horses, Leo and Darla. If I was a horse I would want to live here, they are very spoiled. I lived mostly in Denver but spent some time in Grand Junction CO and Gillette Wy. Durango and surrounding area is a lot like GV when I was growing up. It is nice to be back in a small town, our main drag in Bayfield is M...Expand for more
ill St. So I feel right at home. :)It is great to live in a place where people come to vacation. There are so many things to do and see...so if you want a beautiful vacation spot any season of the year come check it out and look us up we'd love to share this incredible place we call home! My eldest, Meghan is living in Virginia with her husband and two boys. We don't get to see them very often. It is hard to be a grandparent and not get to see them grow up...now that life is a little more settled and Jenna is on her way to taking care of herself again...I hope to make a trip to visit them in the near future. I will celebrate my 10th anniversary working for the engineering firm, ForeRunner we are in the energy business. When I started with them we had 14 employees we now have 3 offices and over 200 employees. They have been a wonderful company to work for. We are looking forward to driving to GV in August hopefully bringing 2 or 3 of our 5 children I want my step kids to see a real fair...My stepson has a roommate in Gunnison CO whose family lives in Nevada City and he has gone home with him to visit, he loves it there and would like to live there someday. I want to show him some of those special places on the Yuba River. We flew back in March for my Mom's 80th birthday, I hadn't been home in the spring in many years it is still incredibly beautiful and much more appreciated by me now, 30 years later. Hope the last 30 years has been good to all of you and life is treating you well; bringing peace, love and happiness into your worlds. Looking forward to seeing you at the 30 year reunion...I'm amazed at how quickly those 30 years have gone by WE AREN'T THAT OLD RIGHT? I'm still feeling 19 most of the time!
