Yesterday and today we continued to visit with Curtis as allowed. We were excited with his responses to us. Although most were
small things such as moving his hand or head or changes in respiration rate, they were extremely encouraging to us. The most exciting news is that Curt opened his eyes briefly yesterday and took a look at Tammy and Renee. We are looking forward to that happening again! Thank you all for your support and prayers. We definitely feel how much Curtis is loved. Sarah

Curtis and family,
You and Curtis are in my constant thoughts and prayers. Curtis always spoke of his family and loves you so incredibly much. The updates are very appreciated. I know Curtis will continue to want to make progress for you.
Let us know if there is anything his friends back home in Texas can do for him or you guys.
To all of you and especially Curtis - our prayers are with all of you during this time. Stay optimistic because positive thoughts can be very powerful. I just learned of this last night from mom - we have been out of pocket this past week.
Love all of you!

Thank you all for the updates, I know it is hard to think of us back in Texas with everything you are going through, but it is so appreciated! We have been praying for Curtis. I am missing his MySpace blogs and videos!

Just wanted to say that we are praying for Curtis. I just heard about this today. Curtis and I were good friends in school and I hate that this would happen to a person as good as Curtis. Thank you for keeping us updated. If ya'll need anything, just let us know.

Curt,
This is your old friend, fellow music-lover, co-pilot on the drive from Corpus to Houston in 1992, and kindred creative soul Rhett from Oklahoma. I just heard the news from Travis and chatted with Andrew today. I am in pain for you buddy. Words can't even begin to describe how hard we are going to pray for you and your healing. The tears didn't come today until Ashley and I's little Addison woke up from her nap today. As I held her, I just broke down. I live to protect her and her sister and her mom from a million different harms. I know you have your core there with you and they are praying on you and doing all they can to help you fight. I want to help in some way and since I am a Professional Speaker and story-teller, maybe sharing this story with you is the best thing I can do. I know you are listening...
Recently you have been in my thoughts more as I have been telling the story in my FFA keynotes about you and I sitting right next to each other down on the floor at convention waiting, almost prayerfully, to see whose name they called for National President. And I still remember you whispering in my ear right before they called your name, "whatever happens next is supposed to happen." Of course, I laugh and say that was easy for you to say because THEY CALLED YOUR NAME! Then I tell them how much regret and emptiness I felt on the way home. And how sometimes the things that are "supposed to happen in life" don't feel that way at all. They feel like the worse things in the world. I do not have any idea how what happened last Wednesday was supposed to happen. But there is a reason. You know this - God's plan doesn't make sense to us because we can't see what He sees. We don't know what He knows. We don't know what He has planned for us.
Back to the keynote, after I tell about me headed home from Kansas City with my head low, I get to tell the students about my good friend Curtis and how it was meant to be you - your talent, your love for FFA, your love for other people, you.
I am going to see that guy again. I am going to talk with him. I'll pull back out the ole "Book of Questions" that we used to kill the time on that drive in '92. We were a couple of nerds, weren't we? But that was a great talk. Four hours of nothing but deep philosophical mumbo-jumbo. I am certain a few of the things we came up with in that car has made it into either one of your songs, my songs or one of my keynotes somewhere.
I will get out there as soon as I can, squeeze your hand and tell you to your ear, I can still feel your soul. I know that is your favorite song of mine. And buddy, I can still feel it. Your body may be in a mess right now, but your soul is intact. And its a good one - a strong one. Hold on to it. Hold on to your family. God will give you the time to heal - hold on to it.
Rhett
