Default Well, I finally did it.

I journaled Johnny's accident. I tried a couple times and ended up deleting everything. So here's what I did... on this first page I laid out basically what happened. As if I were telling someone at the grocery store or something. BUT, a week after the accident, before I could forget stuff, I had opened a Word doc and just spewed out everything as I remember it happening. So I literally just copy & pasted that into the next 3 pages. It's a big rambling mess, but I know if I try to go in there and make it all clean and pretty I'll NEVER get this album done. Although, I did take the bad words out. I think.

Anyway, it's all in the gallery if you want to take a peek. It's pretty Oscar worthy, I have to say.

And thank you to those of you who encouraged me to just get it out. I'm glad it's done!

Wow, congrats on getting it all down, what a scary experience, and I'm glad the end result ended up being positive.

Great job, hopefully it'll provide some closure now that it's done.

it is great that you documented it, scary as it was, I am sure that it is good to have it all journaled out for both you and him!
