Hi Mike
Getting good rest is essential for all of you, Darryl is doing so well and is obviously very engaged in his recovery process which is great, frustrating though the slowness is for him to experience and for all of you to watch, it is great!
Keep chipping away at the pile of rocks Darryl every tiny one counts.
Keep well all of you.

Mike – I watched this today and immediately thought of you and your son Darryl. Be encouraged Darryl is on the road to recovery especially because of his father’s love. I think you will have to click onto the website because I can’t post the actual You Tube.
READ THIS BRIEF STORY BEFORE WATCHING THE SHORT VIDEO:
A son asked his father, ‘Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?’
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says ‘Yes’.
They went on to complete the marathon together.
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying ‘Yes’ to his son’s request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let’s join the Ironman together.’
To which, his father said ‘Yes’ too.

For those who don’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike
ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island, Hawaii.
Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this race at…..

You mentioned the small stones again, reminding me of a search I went on last night and was distracted from. There is a war journalist called Kevin Sites, I borrowed the subtitle of my blog from his words and your words reminded me of the paragraph that comes before the words I use:

“A large and overwhelming pile of boulders lies in front of you — a backbreaking daily task that could defeat you before you even start. But then, with a purpose, you begin. You hammer and hammer. Eventually the big boulders become smaller boulders, the smaller boulders become rocks, the rocks become pebbles, the pebbles become gravel. The mountain of rock becomes manageable.

Darryl is doing so well. Good luck in the days ahead and all the best things.

Great progress you are making Darryl but not surprising from someone like you. You have so many people up here who follow your progress each day as our family. Each day at the pharmacy I am talking to people at the progress your are achieving. Soooooooooo many people care. Keep up the fight. X

wow. Awesome to read the steps he is improving. Seeing him open his eyes must have been damn near akin to watching him being born I would think. It would have sent me over the moon.
