Hi Mike – wow, what can I say? I am a complete stranger to both you and Darryl – you don’t know me from a bar of soap – but I feel your pain and I’ve hitched along for this journey with you. Your blog last night really brought tears to my eyes – as so many of the other entries have and I decied it was time to put pen to paper so to speak. The anguish, feeling of helplessness, sadness, anger and all those other emotions you may be experiencing can only be imagined by those of us not in your situation but Mike – hang in there – you are doing a fantastic job for Darryl and it’s clear he knows you are his number one supporter (along with baby sister of course). Keep talking to him Mike, keep playing his favourite music, keep those hugs up – I think he’s trying his best to come back but as you have said, when that will be is in the lap of the Gods at the moment. Be strong Mike – we’re all here with you.

Darryl or Dazza – I’m not sure what you like to be called – you don’t me but I just wanted to have a chat with you. You are doing so well – your determination is admirable and if I could, I would give you a big hug. Your Dad is just the best – his blogs are so heartfelt and at times humourous – I did enjoy the “trachy” report! Your little sister sounds adorable and I’m sure, like all of us, she can’t wait to see you open your eyes and give that winning smile your Dad says you’re known for. My fingers and toes are crossed for you – keep up the fight – we are all watching and waiting anxiously. Well done my friend – you’re making great progress so far. Please know you are in my thoughts. Kim from Auckland.

Good Morning Mike and Catherine

It seems to be our regular routine to check the latest report as soon as we rise in the morning and then we read the fantastic messages last thing at night. Sometimes bringing a tear to my eye and sometimes I smirk away at Mikes quirky humour.

I can just see Brenna organising everyone and playing nurse to Darryl.

It’s a beautiful morning in Coopers Beach. I sense a great day ahead. Love to you all

Hi Darryl

It was great read the post last night and hear that you are making progress, and are more relaxed Darryl. Long may it continue. Fantastic to read that the bugs arent growing in you – makes life a hell of a lot easy for you and you can concentrate 100% and focus on getting that head of yours better! Keep up the fight and remember dont let your guard down. I hope the next post is just as positive.

A big Gudday to you to Mike, Catherine, Brenna and Brook – Stay strong for Darryl and each other and look after yourselves to.
Cheers

Hi there, glad to hear that the waters have calmed somewhat. It makes sense that the body and mind needs quiet time to heal.
Good to hear that you’re obeying the nurses Darryl, very wise move on your part, they are not to be messed with!
You’ve got some busy times ahead of you buddy…best you make the most of your rest!
Love to you all

Hi Darryl

Since Friday it has rained every day. We are half way through shearing so will have another 5 days to go when the weather clears and we can get some dry sheep. We are getting ready for stock checks next week, you are missing out on all this stock work. Hope you will put your new whistle to work one day soon.
Jimmy might have trouble understanding the new sound to start with. Your garden is growing out of control despite Kathleens pruning efforts. The tomatoes are coming along nicely but need the warm weather and your magic touch.
Today has really been freezing for up here and I am sure
everybody will be sitting around their fires tonight.
Thinking of you every day
