Bryan shows us The Boot which will be his companion for three more weeks. Bryan was very excited when we entered the Verizon store in Doylestown to purchase his new I-phone. I thought it odd that it was quite chilly out and he was wearing soft flip-flops with shorts. "Buddy, aren't' you cold?" I asked…
Marriage?
Long ago and far away - Bryan with his girlfriend. At one point in time, Bryan was thinking about getting engaged. His then-girlfriend was all about it. Bryan? Not so much. But the pressure was rather intense, so he caved. He allowed talk about a wedding, looked through Bride magazines, dined at the future "in-laws"…
Unky Bry
Playing with the youngest nephew while on vacation. On our recent family vacation, Bryan had some opportunities to interact with his young nephews, ages 10 months and 2 1/2 years. There was a lot of energy in the house with those two motoring around - one running on two legs, one crawling on all fours…
Mystical
"What IS this?" , Bryan asked. Bryan came rushing back to our beach compound as we watched him with questioning eyes. He doesn't usually move that fast. Granted, he'd just been doing his daily racewalk on the hard sand, practicing for the upcoming local meet, but this was WAY faster than normal. We were on…
Coda
Saying goodbye to a faithful friend. We had just returned home after our annual trip to the Middletown Grange Fair. It was a choreographed move on our part, unbeknownst to Bryan. We set up the goodbye session knowing that the next day, our dearest Golden Girl, Coda, would cross the Rainbow Bridge at our home.…
Christmas in July (or “Jer-ly” as Bryan says!)
Getting into the holiday spirit! Bryan was bummed. He would not be on vacation in Avalon on July 25, a favorite day for him. For years the family trekked to Stone Harbor's Springers Ice Cream store to celebrate Christmas in July on that date. The store, decked to the nines with tinsel, lights, trees, Mr.…
Monty!
Coconuts are poised and ready for some Holy Grail action! Those of you who have read my blog for a few years know of Bryan's love of Arthurian legend in movies and written lore, be it serious or comedic. He's been a staunch believer of the story for many years, especially after having traveled to…
Overwhelmed
It was going to be a tough circle meeting this month. There were a lot of issues which had to be brought up to Bryan and his team - all for his betterment. We hated to bring it all up in one meeting, but the time was right for more positive change in Bryan's life…
Flight
Pilot Bryan in the cockpit of a B-29. Bryan and his father had waited almost four years for this event. The day after returning from the State Special Olympics games, Bryan and his dad traveled to Reading for the World War II weekend. At the end of a day of exploring all that there was…
States!
Bryan wins second place at the State Special Olympics games at Penn State. "I made STATES"!, Bryan exclaimed with a cry. He learned this a few weeks ago and was over-the-moon excited by this news. For two weeks he trained with another coach half an hour away so that he could go with him to…
