Hi Darryl

All the rain has gone around us so we are still reasonably dry.
2 truck and trailer loads of wether lambs went to the works on Wednesday. They went good weights and are worth top dollar.
The ewe lambs have all been drenched and spread out again.

Kathleen and Benny are in a fishing competition this weekend. So far they have caught 1 snapper (not big) and 3 kahawai.
The duck shooters are up again for the long weekend which means early wake up from the sound of shots up at the Lake.

Deane is away for the weekend so that leaves me running the cutter.

Your garden is still producing silverbeet and broccoflower. Will give some to the men.
I have pulled out the huge lettuces that went to seed and given them to the chooks. The tomatoes are still to ripen but are coming along.

Kind regards

Kathleen, Max, Deane, Lewis, Latimer and Sandy

Great to hear more great progress and that your brother Len was able to quantify it for you all.
Small important steps are sometimes hard to recognise at a time like this, but Darryl has come a long way already, good things take time.
Kia kaha

Hi Darryl

We were your neighbours on Heretaunga Crescent. You were always a very polite, well spoken young man. I was impressed by your maturity. The last time that you stopped by, you pointed out your house across from us at Chuck’s Cove. When you had your first head injury, I had hoped that you would give rugby a pass. My son John played in competitions with you over the years. He has agreed not play this year since I do not want rugby to interfere with his schooling. When you are recovered, you can sit next to me on the sidelines and cheer for Eastern. I know you’re a fighter and I am confident that you will pull through. You are in our family prayers.

Fond regards,

The Wards

Morning Darryl!
Far out dude talk about progress. Im hoping i read this right, you could see when your Dad opened your eyes?! I cant even imagine how amazing it would have been to see even the most basic of images after having your eyes closed for as long as you have! Cant wait till you can do it on your own
Im leaving the sunny far north today. Apparantly the weathers going to be crap, its gonna be a slow trip!
Will be thinking of you as I go through Auckland buddy
Take Care

Darryl, there is only one set of footprints in the sand at the moment,
And that is because I am carrying you,until you are well enough to support yourself
When you are well enough there will be two sets of footprints
And one set will be yours
That is the moment we all await
And it is coming

Kia kaha buddy

regards, Bill Thurston
