Wow! We have been here exactly two days..and I cannot say enough about how happy we are to be here. As is the Potter/Lindsay style..we have walked for hours and hours determined to know our new digs..Caleb enjoyed a first day at Krempels with new friends...if you have ever looked into the eyes of a survivor..you have had a glimpse of God. These warm, lovely people are so welcoming, so open, so full of love. I felt like I had sent Caleb off to preschool first day again..he was uncertain, a bit afraid, not convinced I would return..and two young men escorted him away from me, tears welling..all the while assuring Caleb that they would take good care of him. I feel blessed. We are bowling this afternoon..me with the bumpers.saw a movie last night...and we have tickets to the Whalers for tomorrow eve...and a line-up of things we want to do. I feel like we have landed in our home away from home.
Kai is on the road safely staying with an old boyfriend of mine..Max and Lara are making plans to come join us here and Max promises to show us up at bowling. In short, this excursion was just what we needed. Caleb, I think will discover his tribe, and I will sleep well knowing that all of you are tucking us in each night with thougts of peace. Blessings, Sharyn

A BIG Thank You
In this season of giving thanks and celebrating family togetherness, I wish to extend a warm thank you to everyone who has been involved in a myriad of ways with my son, Caleb Potter, and his recovery. On July 4, he was involved in a skateboarding accident in our little hometown of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, that caused him serious injuries. He came home from Spaulding Rehab in Boston just before Thanksgiving. Through the blog we started:

We could not have come so far without this legion of support from all of you, in Wellfleet and beyond. We are sincerely grateful.

Sharyn, I am ecstatic to read your message! Even though the groundhogs saw their shadows today, it is clear that, in many ways, winter is coming to a close and that spring is calling to you and Caleb to come and play -- sending you much love! Lisa K.
Hurray for such a great update. Sending good thoughts of peace and well being your way.
Happy. :)

"if you have ever looked into the eyes of a survivor..you have had a glimpse of God."
So very true, Sharyn.
I'm happy to hear you and Caleb are settling into your second home and enjoying life.
Great news, happy news! so glad you have found a home away! You sound so relaxed, and content, and that has made me breathe a sigh of relief for both of you. Yay, have some fun!!!
As always, with hope and love and peace,

You're happiness radiates from my computer screen, and warms me on this cold but gloriously sunny Wellfleet day. Enjoy your respite, Sharyn & Caleb!

Sharyn, I celebrate you and Caleb. It is a true honor to see you all evolve through tragedy to recovery to triumph. I know you are wise enough to know that there will be missteps, back steps, side steps and trips along the way. And I am confident at the end of the line you will all be content and happy and at peace. You are an amazing mother and an inspiring writer. Thank you again for sharing yourself with this community. Thinking of you all and hoping the lengthening days bring additional light to you. Risa in Needham
Great to hear! Portsmouth is a great little city to explore. If you and Caleb should get bored and find yourselves in need of a dinner out, or maybe a beer or two at the excellent Portsmouth Brewery and/or Red Hook, please remember that I pass through town twice a day during the week - just give a shout and I'll happily stop by for happy hour!
All the best to Caleb!

A wonderful happy update and great new beginnings. I wish you all the best in this new and exciting adventure.
Love and best wishes,
