Seven knots that never let go...

Also known as my personal reminder bracelet.

The signature color for head injuries, as well as for mourning, is black. My brother's favorite color is true red. This evening I made this knotted thread bracelet in Sonny's honor. A few details...

• To honor his courageous progress following his injury...black thread.
• To honor his personal favorite color...red thread.
• Each segment is comprised of seven knots, the perfect number of God and traditionally the number symbolizing good fortune.
• There is one flaw knotted into the bracelet, though it is not visible and even I couldn't go back and find it...symbolizing that life is never perfect and neither are the people we love, but we cling to both just the same as we accept the good and the bad together.
• Made of very strong embroidery floss, the bracelet will hang in there through wear and tear...reminding me to never let go.

Just wanted to share.

Friends of Sonny Perencevic 

Since his motorcycle accident on September 4, 2008, my brother Sonny has made amazing strides in his recovery. He continues to gain new ground and through his progress he is brave and persevering. He has come a long way, but still has a long way to go...which is where his friends are so valuable

Recovering from a severe head injury is difficult, and Sonny needs all the support he can get. We encourage those who know him to stop by for a visit, no matter how brief, to let him know he is remembered and cared for.

Sonny can do a lot of things!  He recognizes familiar faces and voices, and will often smile when he is happy to see someone. He enjoys music, going outside, and watching favorite comedy TV shows. He especially enjoys watching the Seahawks play  He loves a big hug as much as anyone, and both ice cream and chocolate remain two of his all-time favorite treats.

Anyone can visit Sonny during the day and/or evening, and we would be happy to be there for a “re-introduction” to smooth the way. Questions are welcome, as we know that the more someone understands about Sonny’s condition, the easier it is to interact with him and be a positive force in his life.

If you have questions about visiting Sonny, or would just like to know more in order to make the most of your time with him, please feel free to contact his sister, Lorrie:
