Kiss today goodbye,
the sweetness and the sorrow.
the sweetness and the sorrow.
Love's what we remember.
Love's what I'll remember.Kiss today goodbye,
and point me to tomorrow.

and point me to tomorrow.
Lyrics adapted from the musical A Chorus Line
Connor came home late last night and is resting and healing, buoyed up by the prayers and encouragement of many, many friends. Thank you all so much for the outpouring of love that we have experienced throughout this trauma.
Connor wants to tell you all about it himself, but since so many people have asked WHAT HAPPENED!!!??!!!, the short version is: Connor and some scout buddies at camp were jumping off a picnic table under a pavillion and grabbing onto the rafters and swinging around. Connor jumped, grabbed the rafters and generated so much momentum that he swung around the rafters to an upside-down position, losing his grip on the rafter and crashing 10-feet down to the ground, directly on his head. That's the story.
Connor you are a miracle kid!! Your parents are pretty awesome too so it makes sense that you are!! Ask your parents to get you a stick, you need to be able to just sit and poke your brothers (fun torture with little effort!!) Get well!! Love, The Barlow Family!! Trevor, Marla, Katrina & Aidan!!
ReplyDeleteConnor,
ReplyDeleteLove that smile on your face!!! You are a trooper and you'll be back on the field before you know it! If we lived closer, I'd bring Patrick over for a serious Wii game. Listen to the doctors orders about taking it easy... you will definitely recover faster if you let your body completely heal. Sending cyber-hugs your way!
Connor swinging from the rafters, what an image. Glad you are on the mend, looks like you gave everyone quite a scare and SOMEBODY up there must be looking out for you!
ReplyDeleteConnor we are so glad that you are home and healing!! We are headed out of town for a few weeks so thanks for posting the pics here. We may not have believed it if we didn't see it! You'll be in our prayers while we are away. Love, the Lintons
ReplyDeleteDang, boy! You look GOOD!!!!
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never! May I just say that this happened too close to my bad fall and I can tell you I DO FEEL FOR/WITH YOU!
