The eight of us living here at our new home have been planning and praying for Kerry Lyn's return to us, and looking forward to her being here physically (not just in spirit, as she is all around us with her gifts of art, words, and photos) to enjoy life and family. Then we began to grieve the loss, the losses over these long years. July 2021: After we received the ruling out of San Diego this summer we were left stunned and numb. I am still in physical therapies, working to alleviate pain and function somewhat normally some day. The TBI has affected my work in every way. I had to drop out of pre law, and am no longer capable of traditional learning. I only found out this summer my back was broken (T7 was crushed, my lumbar are slipping).
