Ghosts Yeah, Dane wanted to shout out all the participants
yesterday at the Big Chevron Houston Marathon. Wanted to give
a specific shout out to one in particular, Garrett Parrish.
He took on the Big Chevron Houston Marathon for the
first time, A big deal enough on its own, but
even more so when you learn he has quadripaligia. When
he was eighteen, he broke his C four vertebrae in
a snow day accident. It was a severe spinal cord
(02:48):
injury left in paralyzed from the shoulders down. He started
his rehabilitation journey over at Tier Memorial Herman. Back then
he could barely hold himself up for ten seconds day,
but he persevered. Now lives independently works at the same
hospital where he was once treated. He says the reason
he wanted to participate is to test himself. He wanted
to be able to show people that if you push yourself,
like you say, Dane, you can do great things and
(03:09):
achieve something that most able potty people would do let
alone with people with physical disabilities. Great job, Garrett Pire
is showing us all it's possible when we push.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The run started at seven. My husband and I drove
by the run area around one. People were still finishing up,
determined to.

Oh, I also want to mention that yesterday, I mean,
the Texans are just trying to make tonight so much fun.
They actually had a car stenciled drive through at NRG
Stadium the green lot. There were the Texans themed spray
chalk designs on windows. You could do that yourself maybe,
I mean, I don't know if you missed it. Yesterday
they were given out rally towels and pom poms.

the simpler thing they there's something so therapeutic about that though,
like just gardening using your hands and just that kind
that simple kind of task that you're you're focused on.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
It's I've got We were in Montana and it's just
for me. I When I was in college, I went
to Upstate New York a school there, and I knit.
I would knit an Icelandic remember me tell me that. Yeah,
a week for my clients got paid a lot of money.
They'd go to the wolf Store, we'd pick out their
colors and I would make them an Icelandic sweater. We'd
start on Monday, it would be in their hands that
(07:18):
following Sunday. And so I started teaching the kids how
cool over this holiday? And I was like, you have
to do one hundred rows, then we'll go out and
find something a little treat for you. One hundred rows
and they did ninety four. That they got close though,
you know. Yeah, still, though, what about you for twenty
twenty school granny hobbies? Maybe something you'd like to do

Well, my message is love God, love neighbors, and our
hearts are to be more filled with compassion for others.
For one of the things that we are consistently doing
is focusing on building relationships with people in person and
(09:02):
letting one another know that we matter.

if you wanted. But that's all she was asking for,
Just a lady who loves to share her dance passion
with the community. And I thought that's a great way
