A Word of Thanks

Throughout this experience, we have been blessed with many caring, helping hands.  Thank you to so many who eased the burden of our journey...  a shoulder to cry on, a table to laugh around, a roof overhead (for those out of town visits... I didn't end up homeless, until now!), a home visit, a hospital visit, a phone call, a thoughtful email...

Special thanks to the Fulton and Anderson families who provided rides for dad...

Thank you to all who visited dad in the hospital in the last weeks before his move overseas.  Thank you too to all who emailed and sent cards... I tried to respond to everyone, but I know I have forgotten a few.  No matter... your words did not go unnoticed.

Thank you to the nursing staff at PAH 5N ... for pushing dad to get him up, walking, ready for the long flight overseas... and for giving me the tools to manage the long flight.

Thank you to the caring team at the Nurse Next Door for your care above the call of duty...

Thank you to the team of doctors: Dr. B; family doctor, Dr. T; elder health doctor, Dr. S; neurologist, Dr. A; urologist... thank you for your kindness and care of dad, and for your patience with my stressful queries. 

We couldn't have done it without you, so a heartfelt thanks to all ... the family... Norman, Donna, Loren, Dale (Joanna.)...

Note: We are in safe hands here in Sydney, so thank you to all who have welcomed us with open arms... it feels like home already.  We are looking forward to the next chapter, hoping it is somewhat less dramatic!

PS... I apologize profusely if I have forgotten anyone.  It's quite possible, given my current mental state!
