Twenty Years Ago Yesterday

Twenty years ago yesterday Melissa and I were in the car accident that would change our lives forever

Twenty years ago yesterday I woke up in the morning and had no idea my life would never be the same

Twenty years ago yesterday in some ways feels so far away

Twenty years ago yesterday in many ways feels like today

Twenty years ago yesterday is a day that took over my life

Twenty years ago yesterday is a day that has haunted me

Twenty years ago yesterday is a day I’ve cursed with every ounce of strength I could muster

Twenty years ago yesterday is a day I can finally thank the Lord for

Twenty years ago today was the first day of a brand new life

I'm just glad you're still with us. The world would be much less interesting and fun without Hugh.

Thank you.

Although I never knew Hugh Atkinson version 1.0, I can't imagine a more creative, entertaining and better friend than the Hugh I have come to know, love and admire over the last several years.

I can't begin to even imagine the challenges and pain you endured 20 years ago and it hurts my heart wishing I could have been around then to help ease your burden or just support and encourage you, but I guess I'll just have to be that guy moving forward if I'm ever called on.

Thank you... that means more than you know.

just found your blog and reading some of the older posts. Unlike the other guy, I did know Hugh 1.0 and there's not much difference!! Like RLP we are glad you are here also!! Watch out for that quick knock in the sack the next time I see you.
