May 29 - 30th Reunion

Sorry I didn't get this written before the reunion. My internet card ran out and the office was closed so I couldn't get more time.

Anyway greetings to the class of 1976 - now that tells everyone else how old I am :-) I am writing from beautiful tropical Cairns (pronounced "cans") Australia. I wish it was under different circumstances without Bobb being in the hospital. Each day brings improvement. Slowly. He has a long recovery ahead of him. There is much to relearn. I hope you all have a great day together and wish we could have been there. Know we were there in spirit. See you later. If anyone would like to e-mail we are at bobb_lewis@sil.org

We had a nice weekend. We were able to go outside several times away from the 4 walls of the hospital room. We have begun the word and recognition games the speech therapist has given. Some are hard for him, and others she thought would be hard are not. He has a hard time with the concept of "pointing" to something. He'd rather use words - even if the pathway to the word in his head is missing. Patients and perseverance is what we need now and there is going to be many a frustrating moment when we won't communicate very well.

God has given us a task, let us be good witnesses in it - particularly me as I watch him struggle with some things that seem so basic yet are so hard. We just didn't think about it when we were little.

He is the best of husbands - kind, considerate, loving, giving. May I be able to give to him as much as he has given to me over the years. He has spoilt me rotten! He continues to love abundantly and for that I am deeply thankful.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food and the body more important than clothes. Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you can by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
