Friday from mum

So I gathered all of your sage advise - went home a bit earlier last night, watched a movie and pounded down a bottle of wine and now I am all better - thank you! Caleb had a wonderful day - tho as always when he has company, he is pooped out! Barney, Baglioni and Chad all traveled to Spaulding for an eventful visit. Caleb pulled in all his resources and walked the full length of the hall - down and back, still with help, but that is the farthest he has gone so far and I know he wanted to put his best foot forward (no pun) for these guys! They were cheering him on! He wrote on a paper "Rough it up good. Don't let anything dangerous change your mind!" Now just where does he get that strenght from? - I am in awe! His spirit just shines through and he is climbing above the timberline to get a new perspective. He also wrote - Hi mom , I am alright- after I pressed him for an answer. We have had a mini van donated to us by a very generous man who used it(Lucky is it's name) for fundraising for his close friend in a similar situation. I am wondering if Andy would do a paint job on the new "Billy Rig" as Shaye called it. Thank you for the van, the $$, the prayers,the picture books, CD's, the new tube of red lipstick..your time and energy! I think that Caleb is ready for mail so - Caleb Potter 8th floor Spaulding Rehab Hospital 125 Nashua St. Boston, MA 02114-1198. I would love for Caleb to hear from any of you who don't know him as well as his close friends. I am so changed by all of this in so many ways and I know Caleb is on a journey that only he can take, but that he will return. I am thinking about writing a book titled "Menopause and Brain damage" a womans guide to gliding through menopause without even noticing! We are fine and our hearts cross pollinate each day along with yours. So I will leave you with the words that Richard said to me which ring through my soul every day. " Without Caleb, I am rudderless. He points me into the wind" I love you all and know you feel that too.
