Happy Birthday Steve!

As most of you know, today is Steve's 23rd birthday. Although, none of us were thinking that bringing him back home would be the best gift he could ask for, it definitely would be. Steve is the most motivated individual I have ever met in my life. If anyone can get through this, he can. It is very clear how many people love him and are encouraging him to get better. So on his special day, let's all wish him a very happy birthday and hope that each progressing day brings us nothing but good news.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!!

Steve,

The thought of you is very strong with all of us today. Birthdays are to be celebrated, and I am sure we will have something to celebrate today, a wiggle of a toe, a soft whisper, a squeeze of a hand, a jet ride home??? Who knows? Stranger things have happened, and these past few weeks have been one small miracle after another. God's Peace and Grace are with you, so you know good things will happen!! Hugs!

happy birthday Steve! We all love you so much!!!

"How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word: GRACE. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light..."

you, buddy, are and always have been the definition of GRACE...

happy 23rd!

Percha family and friends,
Our son, James, (from WL Central and UofM), informed us of Steve's situation. We are praying and believing for a FULL recovery for Steve. Know that this is all in God's time and not ours.
We check this site daily now and will continue to pray for you all.

Steve,

Happy Birthday from Aunt Lynn, Uncle Russ, Cody, Diego, Remi and "Gunner"(?). We want you to know how much you are loved and missed here in Michigan. I know you will soon be home so you can get on with your recovery and a full one at that. It will be a long road but I know you are up for that journey. Someone once told me to leave a dent where you are sent and Steve you have by all the lives you have touched which is obvious by all the comments you get on this site. You are a blessed person.
See you in MICHIGAN VERY SOON, take care.

Love rLc.

Stopping in for a moment to wish you a beautiful birthday...God wanted you to be here and to share it with your family and to pass on a lesson to all who know you.

Your accident has been a message to ever so many, to treasure each day that we have and to use it to the fullest.

May you have many many more and soon you will wake up and celebrate your 23rd.

Mr. & Mrs. Totten

Steve and family,

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy birthday Steve-o!! I have been thinking about him all day today and even sang happy birthday to him in my head. I want him to know that he is in all of our hearts. Each time I read about him wiggling his toes or squeezing your hands, I can't be happier. I know that he has the strength to get through this. God bless all of you who have stayed there with him and have given him motivation to fight. You truly are angels. Please tell Steve-o that I said happy birthday and I can't wait to see him! Thanks again for all of your help!
Lots of love from Michigan,
Leigh Christie
