This year Thanksgiving has been particularly meaningful for my family. We've been given the ultimate gift this year and we couldn't be more grateful. We celebrated in my dad's private hospital room with a delicious feast provided by my mom's wonderful friends, Joy Sanford, Stephanie Mason, Denise Harris and her mom. Watching my dad enjoy "normal" food again was something I'll never forget.There are so many people we need to thank for helping us through this process. My Grandfather and my Aunts, Jeannie, Paula and Sharon and their families have been so helpful. Family friend's Kellie and Patrick Miles, Joy Sanford and Family, Brian Hughey and my dad's Tejas Materials family, his neighbors Jesse and Mike and the whole Fairway Crossing family have been so helpful, from doing chores to listening to us to coloring fun pictures for my dad's hospital room. We'd also like to thank everyone who visited, called, thought or prayed. Your love has meant so much to us.

It is so Great to see you responding so well to the surgery. I know you are ready to go home as soon as they will let you.
I can't wait to join you on the Golf Course, cook out on the Grille, go to one of your crawfish cookouts (though I would never eat one) and shoot fire works on the fourth of July...and even drag you to Stuart Beach again.
As you told the Doctor, this truely is a miracle...and as he responded he did not deny divine intervention...I am convinced there was Godly intervention as so many have been praying for you...you are a witness to them that prayers are indeed answered. We are sincerely thankfull for that fact.
We are pulling for your speedy recovery...
God Bless You more and more.
Love

I ditto Rick's comments. It is truly a blessing, Brian, that God has allowed you to stay here with us on this earth, and grow old together. I am so thankful, my little brother, that we will celebrate many more family events together. You are a miracle and a blessing to so many people. I love you and cannot wait to see you in the next week or two.

I am so happy to see everything is going so well, and so you know I told most of my friends what was going on and they've been praying for Brain, and the whole family. I'm really relived to know that he's doing well, and that Thanksgiving went so fantastic! I wish I was there, and I intend to visit soon. I love you all very much.

Thanks to my family for the comments that you've sent. I can't wait to see everyone as well, but there will be a few changes we have to make at the house before we can accept visitors. I can't wait! - Brian Gilliam
Brian! We have been praying for you and your family and it is truly a blessing to see you recovering so well. We cannot wait to see you and hope that you continue to prove your strength. We will see you soon! Jamie and Andres
