Hello, Stephen, I hope your Easter Monday went well with good sessions with your
therapists. I hope you were buoyed up by attending meeting for worship yesterday and knowing
that so many were holding you in the light. I am one of those!! Thanks for keeping us posted.
Love,
Sue

Wow Caring bridge makes all this connection possible! You are in a wonderful place.: views? Good food.. Near constant therapy ?? That is key to a Smooth recovery from the stroke
And aren’t we all glad to be living in the 21st Century? Well
OK - many people don’t have such a supportive care network & you are certainly one who deserves this encouragement and environment. We are indeed each buoyed by your spirit, evident in your careful words. keep breathing in Peace and breathing out !
it’s kind of a Wiley World out here and you are being protected in this moment and we shall continue to nurture you from all over with our praise and good wishes. You are indeed amazing and so much a light to so many others. You do shine and we feel your light, my dear. It’s comforting you so generously share your journey and don’t we wish simple things like visiting and hugging are options? Sounds like prison is NOT the place to be for much of anyone and yet despite your condition, you are making The Now, the open moment count. Bravo !

well Stephen, we finally logged in. i've been reading and keeping up but now it's time to say something....something like we dearly love you and care for you. And what a fabulous fate it was to move to Seabeck...another unbroken circle to share. And that you're able to share this with your son and his family puts a big smile in my heart. Of course hoping for the best. Like you friend Marion says, tell your Dr. to get his act together or you'll do your shopping elsewhere!` robt and mike

I am only just catching up with your situation, Stephen - Emma told me today after our weekly interview we've been doing with Jane, recording her memories. So I have begun looking through your blogs, and want to send you all my love. The way you write about your illness and treatment speaks volumes about your approach to life and the world, and I find it very moving. It seems so very long ago that we spent our significant short time together, which I remember extremely fondly. It probably seems that way because it WAS so long ago! It is one of those times where in my version of the memory the sun was always shining, and it is now breaking through here in Birmingham, after a particularly gloomy winter. Somehow the perilous state of the world and the weird changes in all our lives all seem both more wrong and at the same time more bearable against a backdrop of blue skies and blossom. My thoughts and love are with you, Stephen.

Missed yesterday and just read to Lynne. We did an Easter egg hunt for her yesterday and sent photos to family and friends. So glad you got time to visit David and Carol and to be at Meeting for Worship. Love you, Lynne and Sue

Hi my dear Stephen, I am not letting Mico do all the comments! Just to say I am thinking of you so much and so appreciating your daily updates so I can visualize your life there and the amazing way you are navigating it. Sending you much love and virtual hugs and Bible passages (not!) and I and all of us will be channeling you tomorrow at Bible Study with Dorothy. Hope you sleep well, sweet man!
Dinah p.s. RFFM came to unity today to host a Safe Parking Lot for 6 vehicles of homeless folks. Feels so right!

Steve, Easter is nearly over. Hope yours was a peaceful one. I had a nice chat with your Dad on the phone. We had a bit of catching up on Meeting business but mostly he and Judy were enjoying the beautiful weather and the beautiful spot they live in with its memories of you and David and Kathy. We are all holding you in the light and send much love, Andrea
