'I stay in the light, because the sadness of what could have been is too much for me to comprehend,” Sarah Verardo says.
The North Carolina mom of three is married to Sgt. Michael Verardo, who was catastrophically wounded when he stepped on an IED while on patrol with the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division inBut Verardo's middle daughter recently posed a question that left her speechless.
"I told her I don’t need to go on a date, that I have hundreds of memories of dates stored up and they bring me such happiness," Verardo wrote."'I have memories, I don’t need dates,' I told her.""'I don’t have memories of him mama,'" she said Mary Scott replied."I work hard to look on every bright side, because there is almost always one.
“One day Michael is present — he knows our girls, he is alert and can hold a short conversation,” Verardo says. “Other days, we’re not so lucky. My girls are aware of so much and yet understand so little.”“I have difficult conversations with the girls about their dad,” Verardo says. “I, of course, keep the conversation positive, but children are very aware, and I can’t explain away the reality.
March marks Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month, but for the Verardos, spreading awareness is a yearlong effort. After speaking to their mother, Verardo realized the boys could understand the leg injury but not the TBI, an injury that is far harder and more debilitating than anything that can be seen.
