Journal entry by Brian Cerio

All this energy callin' me
Back where it comes from
It's such a crude attitude
It's back where it belongs
All the little kids growing up on the skids go
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Jumpin' Jane Jean moonin' James Dean, he's going
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks
Cleveland rocks, Cleveland rocks

Cleveland Rocks by Ian Hunter

WE ARE HOME!!!

Yesterday Alexis and I flew home from Seattle to Chicago to Cleveland. Lexi was able to fly first class. I had a couple of passes to the United Club in Chicago too. She may have been spoiled on the way home.

When we arrived at the Cleveland airport Grandma was there to pick us up. When we arrived in Medina, Fire and Police departments and Kelly were waiting to bring Lexi the rest of the way home. With lights and sirens, they made their way down 18, around the square, then by Fred Greenwood park before proceeding home. I almost felt bad for everybody who had to pull over to let us go by, almost.
Along the way friends, and strangers had signs to cheer her on. Several local news stations where there to catch the event.
When we arrived home there was a crowd of neighbors waiting for her. It was so wonderful and touching to see all the support. It is great to finally be home. 

After so much time away, she said it feels a little weird to be home.

Today we had to run to Dicks Sporting Goods to get Lexi softball gear before practices start tonight. Not much time to rest before regular life resumes. 

Here are links to the news coverage for Lexi that we have found so far. The Medina Gazette will publish an article tomorrow.
