See You in a Minute!

Sorry about lack of entries on the blog, but Michael has taken to his facebook page and loves to spend time there with his friends. Much has transpired, and mostly good news.

He is doing better. We hit the gym regularly and he is very fit and strong. Pushes dear ole dad. He gets stronger and I just get sore.

Lack of memory is still Michaels biggest challenge. I would say that and having to basically 'grow up' again. We have been through several stages of life with him again. But he is still making progress and we will all fight hard to keep it going. He wants desparately to be his former self and it is a major source of frustration for him. The fact he is handling this as well as he is is a testament to him and the support he gets from his family and friends.

'See you in a minute' comes from Michael's nighttime routine. One of the last things he says to us is 'see you in a minute', because to him he just closes his eyes and then wakes up! To him, its as if no time has passed.

I told Rosi that is what I want as my epitath. In the big scheme of things life here is short, (and I may add it is hard), and God's promise is that when we die we will be rejoined with our loved ones, but nobody will be sick or old or suffering. I am going to hold him to that promise, and thus the 'see you in a minute'.
