What a lovely surprise to arrive home to Peter and Kathy's last night to have Peter hand me the magnificent quilt so lovingly crafted by all of you. I know Judy must have orchestrated this incredible feat and all the messages are amazing. I brought it over this morning and spread on Gord's bed and we read all the messages. What a great idea to physically show the love and support that is out there for us. THANK YOU SO MUCH! The Aloha spirit lives!!!!!
It is currently mid afternoon on a Saturday and the weather is sunny and fairly warm so we have been up to the roof garden and felt the warm rays. Gord is looking good today and seems to be getting a little more of his energy back. When he does get to nap he looks very peaceful so of course that makes me feel good. I think he has reached the place of "acceptance" now and understands there is a process we have to go through to achieve full health and mobility.
Last night Richard and I played shuffleboard and pool and Gord watched for a while then we got him sliding the thingamajig down the table. He was pretty good for a one armed guy!
These outings are good but usually quite short lived. It really is like having a toddler that needs naps, distractions, projects, snacks, meals, and more naps.....and at the end of the day I am worn right out!!! Andrea was just here visiting with Declan and I told her I am living the same life as her with a toddler -only 60 years older! Who would have ever thought that would happen.
Gord and I thank you again for all the loving thoughts coming our way and look forward to seeing ALL of you within the next year or so. Remember, if you ever want to come and visit at Sylvan Lake this summer, we have an extra house with 3 bedrooms!
I know we will be sticking close to home so visitors will be very welcomed.
Have a wonderful day....
Love to all
Sheila and Gord
