Persistence

Just a little reminder today--

"Persistence -Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." ~Calvin D. Coolidge

We are so proud of you, Jonathon.

Mary, I am so inspired by this website. I didn't know it existed until Amanda told me about it today. You and Jon have been on my mind today bc there is a family that I think is going through similar struggles to your own and could use someone like you in their lives. They have a caring bridge site and their son's name is Adam Stafford. I grew up in the same small town as his mother Haylie. I don't know her as an adult but in following her posts since her son's accident, she appears to be a strong momma who loves her son, desperately....sounds like someones else I know. Hope you have a good week and thank you
for the witness you are.
