Someone who fits in that ‘tall, dark, handsome… and smart’ category is anchorman Bob Woodruff. I think we were all concerned about his well being over the last year since his near fatal injury in Iraq. Half his scull was removed (not sure if it was saved or that he has a plate in his head) and his jaw was severely injured. Last night there was a tv special on him and I was glad to see him (I had seen him earlier on Oprah also) along with his wife Lee. He made a pretty amazing recovery, looking much like his old self though his peripheral vision is messed up and he had to relearn a lot of his vocabulary. He wants US citizens to sit up and be aware that there are many soldiers that are injured and have had similar injuries to his. Bob went around to many of these young men. Of course their lives will never be the same. One man’s body was just crippled and he lay in bed with a tube in his throat but you could tell he was talking with his eyes. Others are trying to get help with therapy and it’s hard for them to find it in their area.
So I have a new hero in Bob. I wish him and his family (along with wife Lee they have 4 children) well.
Lee asked the doctor if Bob would still love her and he said they never forget who they love and he was right.
How wonderful that he’s recovered so well already…just the other day I was wondering how he was doing since I hadn’t heard anything. It truly is a miracle that he’s even alive. Bless him and his family!!
