Quick Updates

  • Dad's emergency surgery on Sunday was successful, and there were no further complications during, or immediately after. The cause was a huge step back, but at least the major hurdle was removed. I don't want another long weekend like this one. Friday, for me, was the toughest day yet - even over the initial accident.
  • The fundraiser was much more successful than i think anyone anticipated. I went to Gilroy and dropped in on Aunt Letty to thank her directly for all of her selfless effort in both organization and managing the event. Thanks to all of you that found the time to also drop in. Family and friends came out from limbo to show their support! Strangers showed up and asked "Is this for Wayne and Lucy?" and either unloaded their trunks on the lawn or handed over cash. Amazing.
  • We'd still like to hear from you; don't be shy. Mom and Esh are sucking up your comments as fuel for their emotion tanks. They truly are appreciated.

This picture is from ages ago. Esha might know a better date. I think this photo best captures the fact that we've always been dorks. Sis and I admittedly, and Dad through osmosis.

  2. I put Wayne Photos that you feature as my wallpaper and chant his name out loud when I see the photos. Spoken words are powerful.

    Roast chicken this Thursday, with barley and mushroom stuffing.

  7. Just sending you the daily dose of good juju and a word of advice - has anyone considered dressing the bird up as an orderly and sneaking him in to help facilitate recovery? We can teach him to say "Stat!" and "ice cream!" and "Tough as Nails!" I'm just saying....
