"Friends" who were always ringing the hospital when he was in a coma, now tell each other to "spread out" so he cannot sit at their table in the local club! (fortunately he does not know this) Family members who just do not want to know - his (sometimes) bizarre behaviour embarrasses them so it easier not to visit or see him, although some of them work in the "caring" professions (9-5 caring I think!)

Your writing is eloquent, sometimes uplifting, sometimes heartbreaking and your love for Jake always shines so brightly. You are so brave and have made me appreciate the special people in my life more frequently than anyone else in my nearly 40 years. I hope the longer than usual gap between your blog entries is because of work and time spent with Jake and not because of any bad news.<br /><br />Best wishes now and in the future<br /><br />Barbara-Anne McGregorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226444260837279680.post-81781671972223903752013-04-09T14:03:41.243-07:002013-04-09T14:03:41.243-07:00Definitely looking forward to getting more involve...Definitely looking forward to getting more involved again :-) Miike McGlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799831561376032583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226444260837279680.post-18643552413557633282013-04-09T11:48:31.989-07:002013-04-09T11:48:31.989-07:00This is what life's about!
