Elias, Clifford and teammate.

My son with his brand new prosthetic arrived yesterday (Friday)

Next day, he's taking my grandson Eli to his first traveling tournament of the season in Hershey, PA.

Just wanted to share this with all here who were engaged on the thread.  Thank you all, very much. 

The power of prayer....

Awesome!

Just wanted to share a proud moment here.  My grandson Elias just won his traveling team's baseball tournament in Florida this week.

You can see Cliff is getting around just fine   That's my granddaughter who will be starting classes at the University of Kentucky come September.

Fantastic!  Looks happy.  Most of us never begin to go through or can even imagine what he underwent.  And now look at him.  :beer:

One year in September?  Wow!  And now?  Smiles all around!

With each passing day I come to realize all I really control or have impact upon is my family and a very, very small orbit beyond.  The sphere doesn't need to enlarge much and my input is diminished to nil.  I continue to pray for my family and those within that sphere. 

Celebrate those smiles DCP, and rejoice. I sure do.  Thanks for sharing.

Coincidentally, it's a year ago today I believe that Cliff lost his leg.

Today, he played in the annual golf tournament he missed last year.

He is featured on the cover in the latest ACHIEVER magazine for EXIT REALTY, where he is a co-owner of a local Maryland office with his brother Jason.

He's transformed into quite the public speaker since his accident.

David, knowing the genuine anguish you and the family went through during the ordeal, this news is especially joyful and inspirational. Just wonderful. I could not be happier for you. From Darkness... Light.

Thank you for all the kind words.  You are like family to me.

Just wanted to share with you how well he's progressed.   He's come out of this a much stronger and better person.

Cliff spoke to a sold-out EXIT Realty Convention in Nashville, Tennessee this morning...to a crowd of 2,000 +

Looking at all the pics on FaceBook (he has hundreds of "Followers")....and suddenly I'm wracked with sobs and all this salty discharge is coming out of my eyes!

Love you all for your support.  It was a monumental event for Cliff today.   He would come over to my condo once or twice a week and we'd reminisce and laugh so hard we cried.  He more than once whipped out his notebook and took notes....he said for his 50 minute 'talk'

Standing ovations...had the women AND men crying their eyes out!

I'm so proud of him.
