Larry, I am hoping to find out if your dad Ralf was the gentleman in at Wexford Creek in south Nanaimo. I’ve been in to visit and if it was him, he was the highlight of each visit. Please let me know if this was your dad as I hope to be able to contact his family with my condolences.
My daughter suffered a severe brain injury twenty years ago. It has been a difficult, but amazing journey. I look forward to following yours. All the best. Cheryl
Thank you Cheryl. It’s nice to have you with us!
My son, then 25, was stabbed through the brain and left for dead. There was no hope, then when he survived, an appalling prognosis. That was 2009. He wrote the post on my blog yesterday.. Possum ergo facit… I can therefore I do. You can add my prayers to the list.
I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to follow this link to the ‘rules’. If you don’t participate in the bloggers awards, then please just feel appreciated. 🙂
Hi Larry, I just discovered this blog. I am really at a loss for words, but only to say that the power of the word is a great comfort to me as a reader and as I can see, for you and your family and friends. If I were going through your experiences with my own wife of 30 years, I would be a total waste. Reading this means that there is always a positive and spiritual avenue that can be explored – not all is hopeless. Good luck my friend and God speed to Janet..
There is always Hope. Thanks Ron.

Hi Larry, I was posting a link to the blog for the students today and noticed the class picture and your comments. I really appreciate Janet coming to the class and it was great that you could speak with the class as well. It was a real educational experience for the students and I have been receiving very positive feedback from all the students. All the best to you and Janet! .
It was a great experience for Janet too. If you need her/us again just ask.
