Ashley Here-
Today's post is from my parent's, the Emersons.
They have been such a blessing of comfort to me and a pillar of strength throughout this process. They all live in Utah and it has been hard to be away from them. I miss them all terribly. I am so thankful to have a family that understands what I need and when I need it.
Love you all so very much, thank you for listening and helping Scott and I through this!

Ashley requested that we share our thoughts about what has taken place since Scott’s accident.
So many thoughts run through your mind when you first hear that a loved one has been involved in a life threatening accident. Your first thought is to get to them as quickly as possible, but when talking with Ashley; she requested we stay in Utah. That was a hard thing to hear, but we honored what she asked of us. There were so many unknowns as we thought about what Scott and Ashley would have to face on this very difficult journey.
We along with so many others offered fervent prayers in their behalf; exercising faith and putting trust in God’s power that Scott would recover from this accident. Through this situation we realize that in an instant life can change. It quickly put into perspective what is truly important. It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day events of our lives. We know that all of us must face adversity in this life. What matters most is how we accept those challenges when they occur. We try our best to stay positive as we continue forward. Both Scott and Ashley have definitely been wonderful examples of that as we read the daily updates on Scott’s blog.
Scott’s recovery has been miraculous and we are so very grateful for the progress he has made! We realize this journey will take time to complete and both Scott and Ashley will need to exercise great patience as they work together. We are grateful for the wonderful individuals they are and for the amazing example of strength, courage, and determination they have displayed. We have seen the great love they show for one another and it makes us want to be better individuals.
We wish to express our love and appreciation to all of you that have taken part in assisting Scott and Ashley through this very difficult time. They have been surrounded by heavenly and earthly angels. In situations like this we are given an opportunity to reach out to those among us who are suffering and in need of being lifted. There have been so many that have offered their love, support and encouragement. It’s a comfort to know that we can count on each other through whatever life brings.
Now, it is with great thanks to see Scott in the next phase of what Ashley and Scott call;
Scott’s return.

We love you Scott and ash!!
