It's my life....


Hi everyone, it's Lexi. I feel terrible for not writing on here in so long, but through work and everything else I haven't made time, but that will change.

So where do I begin! I have been so blessed to be surrounded by my family and a wonderful group of people from church. This whole situation has been a real eye-opener to what life really entails and how important your loved ones are.

Dad - You are the most incredible person I know! I know I've said it before, but I will say it again; you are Superman! I have never seen a more determined and driven individual. I makes me laugh when I see you going non-stop doing anything and everything just to keep yourself moving. But it also makes me wonder if there is something going on beneath the surface that you are fighting. I love you so much and I know that whatever it is, you will overcome the obstacles.

Mom - You are so much more than a rock to this family, you are a boulder. I don't know how you manage to keep everything straight in your mind and not lose it, haha. (Mine would be long gone). I have seen you deal with difficult situations in the past, but nothing so close and so personal and draining. You have shown through with flying colors to this point, and I know you can handle anything that comes your way. I am overjoyed to say that you are my Mom.

Sibs - Haha, Brant, Chelsea, and Rachel. I cannot express how important it is for us to continue to stay strong not only as individuals, but as a group as well. I know that it is difficult, given our crazy schedules and distance, but I hope that we all make an effort to stay strong together as well as personally. This is a family's situation to bear and all the pieces of the puzzle must be glued to withstand the bumps along the way. I love you guys!

The bigger family - I am once again simply blessed, to say the least. My life as I know it just wouldn't be the same without being able to share the ups and downs with such a wonderful and caring group of people. Haha, if I were to name you each individually Mom might get mad at me for taking up the entire blog, so I will just leave it at that. I love you all and I am glad to be a part of the beautiful masterpiece that is the Williamson family.

Highland Oaks Church - There so many wonderful things I could say, but I don't think I could put everything into words. The difference you all have made in our lives is beyond words. I, as well as my family, appreciate your caring and giving. The meals that have been brought to us have been great and the homemade deserts, DELICIOUS! Haha. I know that the loving spirits of all of you have been able to raise my Dad up and have allowed him to live the life of a man driven by faith and love. I appreciate all that you have done; the cards, the prayers, and the simple check-ups to see how he is doing. We were brought to you by the highest power and you have given us the strength we needed to fight this and embrace the goodness within people. Thank you all!

Friends - It is amazing to see that so many people have been following this blog to keep updated on my Dad's journey. I know it means the world to my dad to have a following like he does of people that have only worked with him, or he hasn't heard from in years. It really brightens his spirit to hear from you all. Thank you for all of the prayers and good wishes.

To wrap up, I wanted to post the lyrics of Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" because I know that with all that is going on, my Dad is struggling to get back to normal and Glib needs to know that his ultimate goal is to get rid of it. He must live his life like there is a tomorrow and there are no obstacles in his path.

"It's My Life"


This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

'Cause it's my life!
