The Long Road

Around at Year Now

So much has changed in my haemorrhage stroke, but at least I’m getting better. Slowly (very slowly) does it.

Now I get the gist of things in reading and writing. Before I would copy and paste on Word on my laptop were I can Read Aloud on Review. It’s not great but it’s all right.

Meanwhile, I will enjoy the Tour de France for three weeks. Just as I watched last year, although I could hardly speak at all then, and now I’m so much better, though there are quite a few of bumps in the way as I talk. It will get there, I’m sure.

And we love to walk on over the beach, right by the ocean, near Cape Town – the best therapy, I know. Apart from all your excellent posts from WordPress.

That’s it – see you later!

This is our beach!

Suddenly, comes a ray of light.
It can be a friend with enough empathy to bridge thousands of miles as if they were inches.
It can be a simple joke that will fuse tears with laughter.

Or it can be… Lucy.

Before we talk about Lucy, let us look for a moment around her.
Her mother; she didn’t give up when her child was…
