LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS....IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!
Josh was spending the day with his family at the Holmes family reunion. They were all having some 'fun in the sun' at Pineview Reservoir. Josh had been impressing everyone with his wakeboarding skills and took a couple bad wrecks. Later that day he was swimming off the shore at Middle Inlet with his brothers Justin and Colton. Josh was standing in the water almost to his waist when he did a swimmers dive to go in for a swim. Josh remembers hitting the sand. He was instantly paralyzed and was not able to come up. His brothers swimming close by noticed his back arched and his head under and wondered what he was doing, they swam over to him and helped him out to the shore, Josh coughed up some water, and told them he thought he was drowning. Justin touched Josh's leg and he could not feel them. 911 was called immediately, within 4-5 min. the paramedics were there and called life-flight. Josh was transported to the Hospital.

Hey, We like this guy's style. We especially love what he is holding up in the picture. We wish we could throw some true AGGIE blue on Josh. We think of you and your sweet family often and miss you all at church. You are always in our prayers thoughts. There hasn't been a prayer that has gone by in primary that the sweet children remember Josh and your family. We know that Josh is a hard worker and you will all be home soon. We love you.

Dear Josh & Family - I have finally been able to check out your blog and I am excited to share it with my children & John. I have always looked to your family as a "How to" for raising awesome kids....but Josh, I'm afraid that you are becoming somewhat of a Hero and a role model for many of us in our little valley. The photos show a wonderful support system for you, but they also show your strength, determination and BRAVERY. In the greatest challenge of your life you are showing great character and courage and therefore helping others learn "how to" do the same. Everytime I drive pass your house I say a little prayer for your returning health and that you and your family continue to find patience, peace and humor. As a "taxi Mom" that means I'm sending a lot of prayers your way :). Tell your mom I've gone Natural and that with a little Super Shiny my nails don't look to shabby :). Fight On!
