June 26 Update
By Bud | June 26, 2008
Yesterday was a very tough day for Peter emotionally. He bounced back at the end of the day when another angel was sent by God. As Peter was finishing weight lifting class around 4 p.m., a giant of a man and his beautiful wife walked in looking for Peter. They introduced themselves to us, Tom and Marilyn Graham, former linebacker of the Denver Bronco’s back in the 70’s. Their son Daniel, #89 a tight end, is currently playing for the Bronco’s. Daniel is having a camp Friday, tomorrow, and Tom asked Peter if he could come as a guest of honor. Peter’s eyes lit up like you would not believe. Peter has been very hesitant about going out in public and this is a God send that this opportunity came. He is ready for this. Tom and Marilyn came to our room and professeed their faith in God and assured Peter that God would get him through this occurrence. I have no idea who contacted Tom and Tom only knows it came from someone at Conoco/Phillips to someone else and then someone else. All I can say is whoever sent this angel from God thank you and of course I am also thanking God. So all you Denver Bronco fans, tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm mountain time, I want you thinking about where Peter is and eat your hearts out.
Today we received many cards and letters and a special package from Coach Spavital. Thanks coach, you made Peter real happy to see the shorts with the number 39 on them. Again, the day finished up with a positive. He reads every card and every email and they really help his spirits.
Today on the medical side, there is no change. Still moves his hips, having some feeling in the areas he does not like me to talk about, but I bring them up to him all the time. He rode a three wheel mountain bike outfitted for hand cycling on the streets around the hospital that he really enjoyed.
Janet and Whitney are arriving tonight. Whitney will be spending the week end and Janet will be staying longer. Peter and I are real excited about them being here. It is great to be together again. We are Team Jessee and all of you are on our team.
God Bless everyone and thank you for your support and prayers.

Peter,
Posted by: Michele Richardson on July 19th, 2008 at 12:22 pmI am a cousin of Christy Cummins…I hope you received my package. The local florist was to deliver a goodie basket to you and they said someone signed for it, but it wasn’t you or a member of your family. So let me know if you didn’t get a package from “Cole Cummins’ Aunt Michele & Uncle Ralph”!
I have enjoyed reading your Dad’s updates…you are such an inspiration. God always has a plan even if we don’t understand it! You are touching so many people with God’s grace by sharing your struggle and bringing light to this terrible injury. You are in my prayers and you will walk again, by God’s healing power. You are a fine young man and I’m glad you have come into my life!
Thank you and God bless<
Michele
