Flying in Formation



Dad calls this "flying in formation." That's Father Gregory, his roommate and new friend on Dad's right, and his old friend and fellow pilot Tom Conklin on his left. Dad and Father Gregory take their walks together now, and yesterday Tom played wing man.

Dad's coming home with me on Wednesday. We're trying to get everything organized: supplies, prescriptions, clothes, etc. We've talked about this transition being a return to life: he'll be sleeping in a regular bed, wearing real street clothes during the day, and attending to things that need to be done. He can put out whatever level of effort feels appropriate to him, and spend the rest of his time relaxing, napping, reading.

Hi Dick,
Sorry I couldn't make it down. I'm slowly on the mend. Tom really enjoyed spending time with you. You look great in your picture together. You have eyes that are full of the sparkle of life. I'm glad that you are going to Debby's this next week. Phase 3 of your recovery.
Keep the blogg up OK? We love hearing how your doing.
