Finally got to speak to Bobby today for a long while - my first conversation since he has been back at home. His voice sounds ever stronger and Merlin and Jamie were there fattening him up!
Bobby said how much these posts meant and continued to mean. He asked that people continue to post here and not email him, as his email box filled up while he was in hospital and hotmail closed or disabled his account. He also enjoys receiving snailmail at the p.o. box - email me if you need it. He thanked everyone for the cards and notes and packages and apologizes for not being able to answer these separately.
I think being able to write in little groups to people in the topic is helping him feel connected to his roots and family here while not being as exhausting as individual correspondences or phonecalls.
Glad to have such a good report to add. Beam On!
