Hot chocolate and a movie in our jams! What started out as a real bummer for Bryan turned into a cozy, family day together. We had picked Bryan up at his house on Saturday night after our first Choral Society concert, before the rain turned to a predicted heavy snow. He settled into the third…
Chef
Chef Bryan makes his Christmas fudge. It's become an annual tradition. Bryan comes to spend part of a day with us to kick off the holiday season by cooking treats and wrapping gifts for those important people in his life. This year he decided on an easily-made dark chocolate fudge. He carefully measured the ingredients,…
Inspire
Waiting for the surgeon in the hospital. Bryan continues to inspire us in so many ways. After the harrowing spring pneumonia experience, he moved twice and we discovered he has severe sleep apnea. Had the hospitalization not happened, this might have gone undetected. As a result, he had a sleep study done and the takeaway…
Home
Bryan and Sean celebrate their new home with an Open House. Bryan has finally "landed". After almost a year of turmoil both physical and mental, he finally has a place to call home. He is still reeling from our devastating house fire of October 27, 2024. His home of forty-some years was destroyed in the…
Back!
Racewalking in fine form. After the pneumonia, Bryan was afraid of exerting himself too much. Encouraging him to walk at a fast pace while practicing when we were on our September beach vacation received worried looks and an argument against speed. So, I didn't push. He needed to find his rhythm. Another concern was that…
Family time
Bryan was delighted that Springer's in Stone Harbor was still open! Our annual trip to Avalon in September was last week. It was blustery and rainy for the beginning of our vacation, but the last few days were stellar. Bryan gamely went to the beach with us despite the sand blasting and rip currents that…
Grange Fair
Ferris Wheel fun! It's not the summer for Bryan unless he goes to the annual Middletown Grange Fair. This event ranks up there in importance to his birthday, family vacations, and Christmas. However, this year was different than the almost-forty years Bryan has attended with Ed and I. This time he invited his new roommate,…
…GO!!
A new place to live! My worst fears were realized. Bryan's initial move-in date of early July came and went. Then a new date was proposed for the week after we returned from our vacation. Still July. Works for us. And, then, that date was not going to work because so much work needed to…
…Set…
Proud of clearing the burgeoning shelves in his bedroom of over 900 DVDs. We're getting there....Bryan is slowly but surely packing up years of DVD and book collections. Six DVD binders have been filled with his films. It took a bit of convincing to accomplish this task, but it is almost done. Removing the cumbersome…
Ready…
Three hundred and fifty medals on Bryan's bed from 38 years of Special Olympics competition! We are gearing up for yet another change for Bryan. His tenure at the little red brick Cape Cod in Hatboro is coming to a close. Move in date to a new house in Warminster will be sometime at the…
