Sunday Dinners

In my hometown of Clarksburg, it is made up of Italians, so Sunday dinners for them is made up of family get together and pasta! However, my family is not Italian so we have our own Sunday dinner traditions. Every Sunday my family gets together and has steak night, for as long as I can remember we have always had steak night Sunday, as my dad coined it. My family always tired to sit down together for dinner any chance that we could. I think that is one of the reason I like dinner as the favorite meal of the day because I grew up enjoying dinners with my family. I think one of the best Steak Sunday's was this past summer, my dad was home for a few weeks before he was due for his second surgery, it was just like it always had been. Dad cooked the steaks on the grill and mom made several other things to finish the meal. It was the first time in months we all were together, it was just like it always was. I loved that night more than anything. I am so looking forward to my dad getting better and having out Steak Sunday night dinners as a family again.

What To Write

I am new to this blogging thing and am not really sure how to work it yet but I am trying to learn. I have been looking for things to make my blog about, I feel like I have nothing interesting to write about. I talked to a friend that has been blogging for a while and her advice was to write about something that is important to your lifee, something that you find yourself wondering about or wanting to talk about. With that advice I decided to make this blog about something that has really taken over a big part of my life, which it traumatic brain injuries and my fathers recovery from one. My dad who has been my hero since I was a little girl, suffered a traumatic brain injury on February 7th, 2010. He was talking my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and slip and fell on the ice, hitting his head. Since that day my life has completely changed and has been consumed with ways to get my dad better. Since last February he has gone through 3 major brain surgeries and has been at two different rehab facilities. My dad is currently at a facility in Louisville, Kentucky that deals with many forms of brain injuries. This past year I have learned so much about how little information is known about the brain and how each persons is different and individually their own. I have spent hours and hours researching different studies by doctors all over the world about their findings an opinions of brian inurgies. I can honestly say very little known about the brain compared to other things in the human body, which is pretty scary to think about considering how important your brain is to you. My family and I have been very grateful and blessed with people that have helped my dad make it as far as he has and continuing to get better. It has been amazing to see how far my dad has come from where he started a year ago. So since this is what my life pretty much is consumed of I thought that this would be a good thing to write about.
