Click on the play button, turn on your speakers, and hear Bob's voice.
Bob continues to make tremendous progress over time - - just what we want to hear! He truly is my hero because of his never ending efforts to recover, and believe me, it is hard, hard work. Who knew that a stroke could be so devastating to one's body but never to his spirit. Although Bob struggles to walk, talk, and move his body, he never complains or even hints at giving up. And he is still kind, sweet, and appreciative. That we could all be so brave.
We wanted to SAY thank all of you for your continuous prayers and words of encouragement. It means so much to know that you still hold a special place in your hearts for us . . . and believe me, we need ALL of your positive thoughts. So, please keep them coming.
And now, a special thanks to Bob's "A-TEAM" for helping Bob reactivate his brain, believing that Bob could improve, inspiring hope in us, and for helping our hearts through this very difficult time. We love you Therapists Summer, Rachelle, Cynthia, Rick, et.al.
And then to Bob's Incredible Cadre of Caregivers: Shadi, Bill, Josh, Terri Taco, Jeanie, Robin, Sonia, Jeff, Sandy & Frank, Mom & Dad: We can't say thank you enough for giving up your time and changing your lives to help me and Bob. Folks don't know that you've literally given up days/weeks/months of your lives to help us so that I'm able to return to work. Because of all of you, Bob and I have been able to resume a new normal to our lives. Caregiving is very demanding including helping Bob dress, fixing his (and my meals), doing our laundry, walking/exercising/massaging him, reading aloud, practicing speech activities, driving him to/from therapy and then being his personal cheerleader through his treatments. And you do all this without expecting a thing from us. So know that we say thank you, thank you, we love you and we appreciate you!
Happy New Year!
With our deepest thanks,
Sharon & Bob

ReplyDeleteHi, This is Anna from Korea.
Yes, I am the girl who visited your place in summer of 2008. Beijing olympic season.:)remeber me?
I heard about Bob...
Actually I thought about him a lot and hope him to get better but I just didnt know how to say to him directly and what to say...before.
But here I am to say that I am praying for him and for everything will be alright.
and you know what? whenever I see your family I think that Bob is so happy person who is surrounded by people who love him so much and have power to get through this together. That is so blessing and many people can learn what the true faimly is from your family.
I am glad he is getting so better and I really hope him get through the surgery without any complication and will pray for him.
I dont know where to leave my message, so I just leave it here.
Take care.
and Please send my regards to everyone.
Best
Anna

Dear Sharon & Bob,
ReplyDeleteYou are much on my mind as you ready for Bob's surgery tomorrow. I just wanted to tell you how very much I love you both and to tell you thank you. I have learned so much from you and while I would never wish this experience on anyone, well, there have been many miracles big & small ~~ mostly, Sharon, it gave me time to renew my relationship with you. You know, you've always been my hero & I have always admired so many things about you but watching you and Bob (& little hot Toddi Corkrum) over the last part of the year has been a life-changing experience. You both challenge me every day to find ways to be more loving, to be my finest self, to care without strings and it is my truly honor & delight to be your sister.
So, know that I really wish that I were there with you during this time and that I am praying for Bob's safety, recovery, restored & renewed health and for you to experience decades more love together. Yes, you taught me that love is everything...I love you,
Shadi
Dear Bob & Sharon,
ReplyDeleteHello. This is Hyangju who is Shadi & Bill's friend.
You might want to remember the below Goethe's saying that I think it is a great idea.
Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.
My prayers are with you every day!
Best regards,
Hyangju
