We're working at the U of U in the Health Information Department and he will start December 1st. So much of the pressure that has been our constant companion these past seven years seems like it's starting to break free. I asked Will what he wanted for Christmas and he said- a job with benefits-- with a smile we both know this is a day he has been waiting for for so long.
You can't imagine what it has been like these past years trying to prove or convince or teach other people to not treat "Dr. Blackhurst" differently. Will is so capable. He has been acing the tests in his classes and recently passed a CCA certification. I guess it's just hard for people to understand what happened to him and what comes next. It's been hard for us to understand.
What has happened instead is that we've had to fight to figure things out. And the future is still foggy- but it seems like at least for now the engine is started. Meanwhile, in moments like this when I look around and see so much heart ache in my community and even with my friends and family I think-- just keep going. You're making a difference. Everything you do leads to something - no matter how slow or far away it seems. Keep going!
