Special Message From Brian

Taken from Brian's Myspace Page www.myspace.com/brianwrightr6:

"It has been brought to my attention several times by my wife that I do not say "Thank You" enough and I agree. My world has been turned upside down in the last few months and I can even see how it has effected me just in trying to type this letter with one hand. It is not that I am NOT thankful for everything you all have done for me and continue to do but I feel it is a since of pride that takes over me to say "Thank You". It is more a reminder for me that I CANNOT do things I took for granted before and it really brings me down to be reminded that I need help. I am not use to asking for help with such simple things as tying my shoes or making a sandwich. I am sorry and if anyone feels that I am not appreciative I apologize. For all the times in the future where I do not say "Thank You" I hope you can see where I am coming from right now and can go back to this letter and understand (and I will try and do better). Thank you all."

"Lucky Man"
I have days where I hate my job
This little town and the whole world too
Last Sunday when the Bengals lost
Lord it put me in a bad mood

I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the sun's too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still running good (Brian and I agree this should say, "My old truck's a piece of junk!")
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

Got some friends who would be here fast
I could call em any time of day
Got a brother who's got my back
Got a mama who I swears a saint
Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year
Dad had a close call last spring
It's a miracle he's still here

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
a few dollars in a coffee can
My old trucks still running good
My ticker's tickin' like they say it should
I got supper in the ove, good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord, knows I'm a lucky man

My old trucks still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And even my bad days ain't that bad
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
I'm a lucky lucky man

Brian,

Almost seems like that song was written about and for you. I've followed your progress since day 1. I'm so glad you're able to type to us now. What a lucky man you are!!
