Hi Garrett! It's Mrs. Butler. You continue to amaze me on a daily basis:) When this site was first created - I would visit it very often and I spent many nights feeling very sad with tears in my eyes. Now, over the past couple of weeks, I visit this site and it seems to make me smile a very grateful smile - as you are continuing to fight to come back to us all at 100%! Your progress is nothing short of a miracle!! Back in August it was hard to believe that you would be improving so steadily as you are today. I do believe your mom when she says that is going to happen. My prayers and thoughts are with you as each day passes and I look forward to seeing you again very soon! I'll keep praying for at least one more week in rehab - they are doing great things for you:) You keep fighting - we all love and miss you. Mrs. B.

Your progress is showing up leaps and bounds. That's so great and it won't be long now. Before you know is you'll be home and back to life as you and your family used to know it. With one exception you'll look at things thru a very different light and not take advantage of things you used to. I get such a warm feeling when read all the messages of your progress. God is truly hard at work. I know that its been a very hard road for all of you but keep on going your doing great...Love Carelene

Hey Garrett! I haven't written in awhile. It is so great to be able to visit you. Every time I visit you, you are improving. Making good progress! Your a strong one, always have been and always will be. Keep up the good fight! I miss you buddy. It feels as if there is a hole in my life most of the time, but you are coming around to fill it. I don't know if I have ever had as much fun throwing catch with you. It was so great to be able to play with you again and to go catch one of your passes. One of the most amazing days I have had with you so far was when I was with you and my mom in the chapel. We held hands and prayed together. You tried so had to talk that day. I could hear sounds as you tried to pray along with us. After the prayer, you rubbed the back of my neck and massaged my back. It was so great knowing that you were there! And that God was there! I miss you Garrett. There were days way back when I was sure I wouldn't, but know I definitely do. You are such a big part of my life. I love you Garrett! Take Care and God Bless! In Christ, David Mills

Hi Garrett. I hope you get better soon. I miss you coming over and playing with me! I enjoy coming down to visit you. I liked it when you put me on you lap and held me. I miss you picking me up on your shoulders. I'm praying for you. When you get better, I want you to put me on your shoulders and bend over so that I feel like I'm falling. I love you Garrett! Sara Mills

Garrett- we are soooooooooooooooooo EXCITED for you !! keep up the good work buddy!!!!!!!!! You will never know the magnitude of all the love and faith you and your family have inspired. Hope to visit again soon with all the pretty girls. Godspeed- mcdonald land

Garrett the last two months blend together but today was different. Today was an extra special day filled with many blessings for me. Today I think you saw a glimpse of the love extended to you and your family by the community. Jimmy Bryan printed all the messages and prayers written during August on the website and bounded them in a book. I showed them all to you today and you said "WOW" loud and clear. Yes "WOW" does describe all the feelings and emotions over the last two months. The Lord has certainly stretched us all and strengthen us in the past weeks. Reading the messages to you was amazing. You listened to each and if I didn't recognize the name and asked you, you either nodded or gave an I don't know with your hand. After reading your bingo buddy message I asked you who wrote it and you said clearly Mark! Yes you were listening to it all. As it was time for Jordan and I to leave I asked that for next week I wanted a smile ...you didn't make me wait. You gave the most precious smile!! Thank you! You are a precious child of God. I love you! Jan Mills

Hey Garrett, I am so glad to hear you are making progress. I haven't written anything on here since maybe the first week. You have been in my prayers every night and in my thoughts every minute. Please keep getting better. You are an example to us all...God bless you

Hi Parkers! Reading the updates brings tears to my eyes! I'm so happy that progress keeps happening. I agree with the last comment. God indeed has a mission for you, Garrett, but also for the rest of the family. What a change for everyone...many not so nice changes, but many changes for the better. God will always make his presence known within the middle of adversity or trial. And He will use us for His purposes as long as we let Him. My prayers, as always, continue for all of you, that you continue to grow in His love for His purpose as well as continued progress. Denise Danko

Hi Garrett-- You don't know me, but I know your Aunt Pam & Uncle Kevin. I have faithfully followed your progress. I am very happy things are going well. I told your Aunt that God has a mission for you. Your life has a new road to follow and God has it all mapped out, you just have to be willing to follow. This road has its bumps, detours and speed limits that may not be what you had planned. Follow God and he will help you. Just like the "Footprints" poem. I am praying for you-- BAF

Garrett, I honestly don't know what else to say except that I am so proud of you. The progress you are making is amazing. In the past week, you have been working so hard to come back to us. I love you so much. You keep on working on this and you'll be back to your old Garrett self again. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your strength and determination is keeping them going. GOD is with you. Your mom told my mom that things wouldn't be how they are now if they wouldn't have said a prayer before you spoke. GOD really is carrying you through this, His light is shining on you or should I say your light is shining on Him. I've never been so proud of one person sweetie. I can't wait to come down and see you. I love you...GOD helps GOD heals...Angelina

Dear Garrett, I have been thinking positive thoughts and prayers for you ever since the day of your unfortunate accident. I know you have many friends and family visiting you on a daily basis. I will be one of them when you are feeling a little better. Keep up the good work of recovery. It's a tough job, I know, but you will do it. Sincerely, Mrs. Rost
