Today was a long day, but I'm not sure why. Hmmm. Anyway, I'm back in West Stockbridge, thinking about the day. Before leaving, I said goodbye to two residents - Jim and Trevor and wished them the best. Both are leaving in chairs and are in good spirits. Meeting them and getting to know them has been a pleasant experience, and they've been a positive part of Tim's time there. But, again, it's weird to be in such close contact with some people for a relatively long period of time, and then they're gone.
The three of us sat down for our second weekly meeting, a fact which I consider a major accomplishment, to talk about Tim's state of affairs, and it seems that we are on a good track.
Dr. O'Connor spent a little time with us at the end of the day, talking about several things. Here is the wisdom he shared with us : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpDLWJBZdxU
Laughter is the best medicine, I suppose.
So, I close this day with another quote for you, and one which I think is very relevant.
We never underestimate the importance of a human’s touch. Neither must you.
** This is a direct quote taken from Tim's new book on the history and philosophy of Audi.

Brian,
It's no surprise how you feel about "meeting people and then they are gone." It's not your typical meeting of people...you are sharing something that no one else will ever truly understand. Total strangers one day and people who "know you" "understand what has happened to you" "share the emotions you have experienced in such a brief and blindsided way" the next day. The rest of us can only imagine. It's no wonder you feel a sadness when they go.
Hoping the best for all of them, as well as Tim.
love,
Pattyo
