Oh, How the Tides Have Turned…

The photos featured are one of my brothers and me recreating a photo from almost two years ago.

Tuesday, December 9, 2014, was my one year anniversary at Roper St. Francis’s Outpatient Rehab, so my dad was nice enough to supply lunch for everyone in the department today.
