Because the meds have Gary sleeping a great deal, I am facing some quiet days. Fortunately, I have some good books, chores to do, and phone calls to/from you all. Unfortunately, Gary seems to me to be weaker each day and his appetite is not improving. Please know also that we tend to go to bed rather early. It takes him a while to get comfortable, and it takes me a while to get to sleep.
We had a great visit with Frank and David this morning. Gary slept through parts of it, but sometimes he just came up with a usually amusing comment that was pertinent to the conversation. It's like he's partially attentive. I guess he's making an effort. David had a truly nice print that includes seven pictures of the engineer group's work in Afghanistan that I can't wait to share with my students! I don't think I'll hang it at school with the poster of Saddam Hussein that Mark gave me unless they decide to let me teach Social Studies for a while!
Everyone around us is being thoughtful and supportive in so many ways. It does seem that I am having more difficulty focusing on tasks. Please know that we are grateful for every kindness, even if I neglect to personally express that. Life around here is just not normal, and I am sure it will take quite a while to find a new normal if there is truly any such thing.
Love to all,
Robbi

Unfortunately, the days that you are describing seem just too real to me. Thankfully, you seem to have lots of great friends and family to share this new reality with you both. Please know that my prayers go out for strength and courage for both of you.
Love always, Janel ;-)
Hey! Scott, Granny, & Sheryl Ann will see you Friday. Hope ya'll have a good visit. Scott, Granny, Ash, Clay, & myself are planning to come down Oct 3rd weekend. I'm going to make "taco soup" and look forward to seeing you & Uncle Dune. I can remember too well these days you are going through, different, because it was dad, not my spouse. But the Lord does give you a Peace that just cannot be expained. We are here if you need us..Scott will talk to you later.
Have the "Best Day Possible"
You are always in my prayers and thoughts.
Love always,
Paula

I haven't commented in a while. I've been real busy as Mom fell a little over a week ago & broke her right ankle. so I've been helping her a lot. Greg & I are still praying for a miracle & lifting you guys up continually for strength, courage and peace. We are here to help in any way we can.
Much love

Hi Gary and Robbi,
Just a quick note to let you know I'm still checking in daily. Hope things are going well since your last post. Work and school here. We did go see the relics of Saint Pedro Pio (A Priest from Italty) last night. The speaker was a man who benefitted from the miracles this priest performed in his life time. And hopefully with our prayers there could be more.
God Bless, hope to see you again soon. Ike and Sue
