Hello all,
This is the West Boylston Dilling clan (Ken, Sherri, Kelcey, and Zachary...yes another Zachary). Just got back from Florida yesterday and had a great week. Our house was very cold and damp upon our return. We got to see Disney Monday although we told the kids we were going to the zoo and got lost but decided we would go into Disney anyways since we were there. We all visited John, Liz, and Simon on Tuesday. Went on an airboat ride and saw the alligators on Wednesday. Went to the Brevard zoo on Thursday, rode kayaks through the zoo, and fed giraffes and birds. I was able to get back and see John and Liz on Thursday. Although we originally planned this trip to Cocoa Beach several months ago and were planning to visit John, Liz, and Simon anyways it was extremely comforting personally to get back and visit Jay again. He's sharp as a tack and keeping the nurses on their toes. Wish I could've stayed longer for sure.
The Connecticut Dillings (Mark and Kellie) are in Florida now and will be returning home Tuesday.
I found some old pictures of J from a trip to Daytona back in '92 when he had long hair. I will not be posting them since this is a kid friendly site but it made me smile. It's going to shock everyone but we were drinking very tall beers.
Liz has been amazingly gracious and kind. I wish we could e-hug her every day. Please keep the pictures and letters and whatever you can think of flowing.
I cannot stress enough that if you are planning to visit you should try and make plans soon. John is still very much himself but the increasing amount of pain medication will likely make it more difficult for him to focus. If you can't visit then try writing what you want to say to him to let him know how much you love him. He needs your love right now because he is a strong stubborn male who will never ask for anything. One of John's greatest strengths is that you can ask him anything and he will give you a straight answer every time. Even if you don't like the answer he is a straight shooter for sure.
On a lighter note Kelcey and I wrote a little song for John and for you not in Florida our rental car was absolutely covered with these poor little creatures:
ODE TO THE LOVEBUG (please sing with a Southern drawl)
Lovebugs, you were everywhere
You got squashed on the car
But you did not care
'Cause you were making love
In the Florida sun
Lovebugs, you were everywhere
You flew into Kelcey's hair
But you did not care
'Cause you were making love
In the Florida sun
Ohhhh Lovebug
Perhaps Mr. Burke can help me record it with Kelcey and post.
Well I've blabbed long enough. Wish I had pictures of John on my camera but Liz took the pictures at the hospital and she's got more pressing things to do than download pictures on the computer.
