Updates on the Main Main
Sorry for the delay in getting something posted. I see the traffic is still high so I apologize it's been a while. I have been swamped with work and travelling. I'm off to Austin next week for our Global Sales Conference. For those of you who don't know what I do, I'm responsible for the Sales of Tablet PC's throughout the Pacific Northwest. I work for a company named "Motion Computing" and we are small (120 employees) but our revenues are growing at a clip of 70% Year over year and quarter over quarter. Feel free to check out the website at www.motioncomputing.com the Tablet PC is like a laptop without a keyboard and they are predominately used within Hospitals for MD's and Nurses to input (via handwriting and pen) for Electronic Medical Records. It's an emerging technology but we are doing exceptionally well. Anyhow, enough about me now to the main man!
Skip is doing great! He's speaking and it's very good. It's a bit Mumbly at times but for the most part it's fairly easy to comprehend. He's excited to continue his rehab and make additional progress. Skip was telling me last night on the phone how he just wants to get better and get out of there and relax with my mom. I talked to him about him being given a second chance...and he said, "oh boy..." I told him he's so lucky to not be below ground but to be above ground and he said, "way above ground". This is so true. He's been reborn and he's so touched and happy. Many of us(including me)think about the situation, and him and what's happened and we are still thinking what a tragedy and we are so focused on his recovery. Then we speak to Skip and he's so high on life, he's thinking how lucky he is to be breathing and cognitive, and alive! Skips more alive now than he has been in a long time...! He could've easily been taken from us but it wasn't meant to be! When you speak to him and actively engage in your conversation, you will feel the love and the gift that he and we all were given.
Today I watched the Masters Tournament and was glued to the TV. What an exciting event it was...I was thinking about the comments that Phil Mickelson had made after smiling because of the cheers he heard on the course. He said he used to watch the tourney on TV when he was a kid and always loved the huge roars! Instead of being in the hunt for the Green Jacket, he was walking the course and enjoying the moment! As some of you know, Skip and my mom introduced me to the game of golf when I was 4 years old. Today when I was watching, I thought about the times when Skip and I have been on the course and had our little matches and chipping and putting contests. We've had such a great time, not playing the best of golf but enjoying the experience of playing together. I'm encouraged by his speech and hope his mobility comes around as much as his speech has. If not, then that's ok! I'm sure I along with all of us will enjoy the times we get to spend with Skip and I know he will do the same!
So, in summary...this is a long post covering lots of topics so I appreciate your listening to my rambling...but Skip is doing well and his strides of improvement are great! I love him very much as do all of you and thanks again for your support!
