Hi all...Stacy here. Sorry for not writing more often but life is pretty hectic right now. I just wanted to let everyone know some of my observations from the past couple of days and especially last night.
Dad had a great weekend with a long visit with a couple of his brothers...Richard and Gary. You guys are just awesome and I know that Dad appreciates the teasing and the time that you have spent with him! He really has a great reaction when you guys are around and I think he knows that someone is there with a great sense of humor and that relaxes him.
Daniel and I also spent a lot of time this weekend and I have to say that Daniel really brings out smiles and joy from Dad. They played ball and Dad even teases Daniel and makes him giggle! It really is great to see that no matter what, they still have a strong relationship.
Last night when I got there, Dad was a little grouchy but I got him some cold water and a fruit smoothie and he really perked up after that. It was really nice as it was just Dad and I and we had quite a long talk. I told him that his son Darren was coming to visit this weekend and he said "Darren Bosch? Why is he coming". I told him that Darren and Jackie were just coming for a visit and he said "Okay good". I showed him a picture of Daniel and asked him who that little guy was and he said "Well that's Daniel". I haven't heard that before so it was just great!
When I went to leave last night, Dad actually called my name to get me to come back and I was so happy because I haven't heard that before either. I went back and we talked for a bit longer. Overall it was a great night last night and it seems like everyday is better and better!
I just have to say thank you again to my family who has been there and doing great things for Dad and for Andres and I. Uncle Richard and Aunty Vonnie...wow I don't even know what to say other than you guys are just incredible! Uncle Gary...thanks for spending the weekend with Dad...I think that he really enjoyed the weekend because of the fun you guys brought in!
Mom and Aunty Gail...you know that I could not do this without your phone calls and e-mails!
Okay that's it from me for now...hopefully I will be able to write again tomorrow.

Good news Stacy. I am very excited that Gord is up and walking, eating etc. A grandchild is a great motivator, they have many years together and your dad will teach him many things. Maybe Daniel will be a building buddy for him. Your dad has always been tenacious to say the least, I have no doubt he will come out the other side. I truly believe that your dad has touched many lives and the power of prayer is with him at this time.
ReplyDeleteKnow always that we will be there in a snap of your fingers if you need support. Working full time and running after a 2 year old is a feat in itself, but I know that the power of your love for your dad is bringing him along. He will enjoy his visit with Darren this weekend.
You all hang in!
Stacy,
ReplyDeleteYour Dad is a guy who has a lot to live for. A great daughter, a CuTE grandson and by all the messages on this blog, a real support of family and friends. He will be back........and you will all be changed and with that change will come many blessings. Of that I am sure.....you are all in my prayers. I am glad for your Dad's recovery! Keep your chin up!
Love Auntie Tammy
