It was a lovely evening with those who could make it to Draganetti's last night.

I mentioned an autobiography/biography (memoir?) I'd read by Bob Woodruff, ABC news correspondent severely injured in Iraq, and his wife, Lee. The name of the book is In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing. It is an up-close look at the couple from the time they met and dated, went through times of tension due to the pull of career and lifestyle differences, to marriage and starting a family -- when "in an instant," he is injured by an IED in Iraq and suffers a horrific brain injury. The book is written in alternating style by Bob & Lee, and it's interesting to hear each perspective on some of the issues they faced early on, and even more so, what each of them went through after his injury and recovery. The book illustrates what love and tenacity (not to mention the best health care money can buy) can accomplish.
