Our English friend Sally provided the opening words for this blog: "no sooner than you turn one corner you bump into another
wall. We are glad Chuck is coming back strong for you all but it will take time. Remember to rest your self.
We presume you are in the Keys with Aunt Trudie; remember us to her and we hope she sleeps peacefully and deeply watching the view over Bogie Channel. Many a sunrises bring back such good memories of Christmas Past and the childrens’ laughter by the water on bikes and in boats."
And isn’t this what Aunt Trudy wanted? good memories on Bogie Channel. Aunt Trudy passed away quietly in her own home, in her living room that overlooks Bogie Channel, at about 5AM on St. Patrick’s Day March 17, 2011. Niece Thelma Ann and friend Dorothy were with her. (One of St. Patrick’s symbols is a boat.) May Trudy be carried to the face of God by angels, in a boat over Bogie channel. Although, Aunt Trudy didn’t like riding too much in boats…. angels will be gentle. God bless Aunt Trudy.
Chuck is very well. He is walking right now with friend Dave from Maine who is still with us. Chuck’s fog has lifted and he seems so much more the same with only lapses in short term memory that he doesn’t even recognize… Probably only the wife recognizes the lapses. He will continue PT and OT and walking. We will go to Big Pine this morning and meet up with Chuck’s cousin Dennis from Connecticut and friends who arrive tomorrow from Iowa. Life is a circle. Live and thank God for sun rises. Amen.
