Nominator: Rosemary Cramer
Nominee: Mike & Mandii Cramer
Their Submission: I would like to nominate my son Mike Cramer and his wife Mandii for a Flower Bomb extravaganza to celebrate their miracle love story. They have been married for 10 years. In 2011, Mike suffered a massive stroke and was not expected to survive. That December when life support was removed, after a few hours, he began to move. The neurologist said she had no medical explanation for his survival. I know faith, prayer, music, Reiki, love from family friends & their pups too helped us all to get through that first excruciating year and along the hard road of new existence. Most important of all Mandii stayed by his side day after day, year after year to assist in his miraculous recovery. Yes, Mike is different than before but highly functional and an amazing testimony to determination, strong spirit, neuroplasticity, and love. Although his short-term memory is compromised, his long-term memory is very good. He helps around the house and is a wonderful Dad to their 2-year-old daughter. He just walked the Wadsworth 5K in 59’55”. I know there are many people deserving of this gift but I believe Mike and Mandii are two of them because of their love, commitment, painful journey and success to live the life God has given them.
