Life before September 30...
We are starting this blog in order to keep all of Brian's family and friends -- from California to Dresden Germany!! -- aware of his progress and to allow people to post their thoughts and prayers.
First, life before the accident was always a party with Brian -- he is carefree and fun. For those of you who do not know Brian, he is just vibrant. He works very hard with his friend and mentor Phil - who is teaching him carpentry skills and how to make fine pieces of furniture. He also works at Sidelines Grille as a cook and bartender, so he is very busy. He is probably best known for being the most obnoxious foosball player ever -- completely annihilating me on the first day I ever tried to play. That's why I hate the game ... thanks Brian!! But I'll leave the foosball posts to those that know what they are talking about. But he is most proud of being Olivia's dad. She is 6 years old now and just the coolest kid on the planet -- probably due to her mom but we'll give Brian a little credit :)
So how do I know Brian... well I met his roommate Greg over 2 years ago and became their 3rd roommate for over a year. We had so much fun living in that house...even though it was a little loud and messy for a girl. Foosball night was every night, but luckily Livi came to stay regularly so that I could have another girl in the house. And that's where I came to love the Hatton family -- Brian, Olivia and Jessica (even though she's not technically a Hatton). Greg and I got married this August and Brian was our best man and Livi our flower girl. And we think of them as family. So when he got hurt, it was like a part of our family was hurt. Actually, there are a lot of people that felt like that....Brian is a part of a lot of families :)
So that is the background on Brian.....all anybody really needs to know about Brian is that he is the life of the party. And the party's on hold until he wakes up.....

I met Brian only once (a foosball-night at their house, when I was a guest of Jamie and Greg. We played the game and I loose... he played too fast for a german woman ;)!)
What I wanna say is, that I wish with all of my heart, that he will be able to play such a fast game again! And I think, he will play the game of life together with his two women, family and friends again.
And you guys, who are around him, be patient with him.
