Happy "25th" Birthday Scott

Twenty-five years ago today after 18 hours of long hard labor, my little boy Randall Scott was born. Scott has been a blessing to our family from day one. From the time he was a little boy, to the present day, he's been a valiant young man. There is a reason for Scott to be here today, as he has been thru 3 close calls with death. Back when he was on a boy scout camp-out the sleeping bag he was in, caught on fire from a candle while they were sleeping. His bag burned all around his legs, and his pillow burnt around his head, but he was left untouched. The second incident was from a 4-wheeler accident. The ATV he was riding flipped over, crushing the left side of his face. His injuries were to the extent that he shouldn't have survived. He's had 16 surgeries which amounted to around $700,000. And the most recent, was a year ago when he was playing in a softball tournament, colliding with another player rupturing his spleen and bled out 98% of his blood volume before he got into surgery. So as you can see, he is here for a reason and we are sure glad he is. We are proud of you Scotty-Boy and hope have a very happy birthday!


Love you!!
