You know Harold being as spooky as he is always liked you too 'for some reason' and as soon as I settled down he jumped off and went back by the fire place. Mike says 'Just Hurry Up Darryl!'

At last a bit of time off and a return to normal station life. Ronnie Fenwick and his fencing gang are back this morning chasing wild pigs on the station.They all send their best wishes. Whats a bright young spark like you supporting the Canes for.I thought you would be an udder mother supporter from way back. Come on the Chiefs. Kathleen and Benny have gone fishing at the harbour entrance to day so i will be expecting a feed of fish for dinner to night. Some duck shooters have just turned up to go shooting Parries on the Paua flats.There are still plenty of ducks around at the moment so i guess they will fire off a few rounds and take the duck population down a bit. Everybody sends their regards.Keep taking those steps each day. Regards Kathleen Max Deane Latimer Lewis and Sandy. Hi Darryl

Even though it's heartening that he's showing small signs of improvement, it must be so frustrating for you all. Considering the length of time you have had this emotional trauma, you are obviously holding up very well. We admire your courage- keep strong. We’ve been following Darryl’s progress from day 1.

I can tell your sooo close to waking up!! just a little bit further! we know all about fog down here. sometimes its almost so bad you have to pull over and wait for it to lift a bit. And when it does you can get to where your trying to go. For me its usually Cambridge. Your destination is way cooler though, its the smiling faces of your family and friends :) Dont give up guys, you can do this. Heather Hey Darryl,

It's almost as if he's looking at you all from just beneath the surface of those somewhat calmed waters. Your instincts continue to be spot-on Mike, don't ever doubt them, they & his whaunau are the best advocates Darryl has in his corner. Darryl, keep challenging the medical model of rules and moulds...sometimes it is right that they are broken, if for no other reason to remind us all that there is still much that is unknown, unpredictable & unproven in the world of medical science. Darryl, you are rightly reminding those of us within the profession that we should not blithely accept 'proven', previously established outcomes as status quo. I have every faith & confidence that you will continue to break boundaries and conquer challenges yet to be faced on your journey home. Much love to you all Virg Good morning

In my experience no two people recovering from the catastrophe of a brain injury are the same, similar, sometimes, but always different and often surprising. Keep hoping for the best and be ready for less, one thing is for sure, whatever the outcome for Darryl it will be the best anyone in his position could hope for, he has such strength in you and the rest of his family and friends to bring him through to whatever the future holds. Keep well and hold on tight to your belief that your family will get through this.

Morning Dazzla Glad to hear of your hurricanes support,bummer they did'nt make it to the finals. Maybe next year hey!!! We sould go watch a game live, would be mean. Was thinking about you heaps last night, hope you are well today and keep the storming at bay. Shit its freezing up here mate, the mornings are crisp as. The boys have a home game this morning against westerns - should be fun. Good for the boys to learn the importance of hosting an event, they are putting an effort into making their plate of food to bring, pretty cool. Allen and the germans that we have staying with us for a while were down in kerikeri for the week cleaning out the rest of the house and making a start on the sheds. Oh man a lifetime of STUFF collected, needs to be moved up onto the new farm. They had a fire going constantly the whole day and its still not finnished. I am sure you remember what all the sheds looked like, so i know you can relate to the mission. Soon to be another TICK off the slowley dwindling list. Yay. Well Mate today marks one month, glad you are making progress we are very proud of you as all your mates are. Seem to be missing you more, not sure why - guess its because we would have seen you around home by now, and that been snatched away from us. We will get it back - ten fold Much Love to you DAZZLA, and your family Waiting and waiting - The Tubbs Family “Go the Hurricanes
They played a great game,
pipped right in the end.”
