I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Kenju but when I read back in your archives, I can see that he is a lucky man, all in all. I'm glad he is home and doing well. <BR/><BR/>And here you have been working and making absolutely incredible flowers for weddings. Your work is truly masterful. I wish you lived near me as we order a lot of event flowers for our school--for fund-raisers, benefits, memorials, etc. <BR/><BR/>Tell your boss I think his entry was so beautiful. I was also impressed with the photo where the floor was decorated as well. <BR/><BR/>Thinking of you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662314457996660467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-63267674311651452542007-09-13T18:04:00.000-04:002007-09-13T18:04:00.000-04:00Just found out on Kay's blog, that Mr. Kenju did i...Just found out on Kay's blog, that Mr. Kenju did in fact have a stroke.

It's hard to know what is needed when you've never dealt with a situation like this before. <BR/><BR/>Having cared for my mom (not full time) after my dad died, I know how difficult being the caregiver is. Remember to take time for yourself - even if you have to stay up a little later than him or even have one of the kids come by to hang out for a day while you get your own things taken care of (you know, pedicures, lunch out and all... LOL). I look forward to hearing about his continued progress and I wish you both the best!!! <3Evil Twin's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947080160500549248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-87675851152318721052007-09-12T14:41:00.000-04:002007-09-12T14:41:00.000-04:00I am glad he's home and can be with you, I was imp...I am glad he's home and can be with you, I was impressed by the way the therapists care and help settling the patient down.

I know you are right. I have no idea of quitting the flowers, mainly because I have to work, especially now that the hospital bills will be coming. Thankfully, they have not started yet, but as soon as he comes home, they will. <BR/><BR/>We are both lucky in that we have hordes of friends who have asked how they can help, and while I am always reticent to accept help at times like this, I know I should avail myself of the help while I can. It will be important to keep up both our spirits and the companionship of good people is the best way to do it.<BR/><BR/>My neighbors have always rallied around others here who have had illnesses and troubles, and I am sure that once they all know, they will do it for us as well. Mr. kenju's men friends have offered to take him to therapy sessions, which will be a big help sometimes. My attitude is that life is, whatever else it may be, an adventure. There is always something to learn and discover - and this path we walk now is no exception.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-59533025966012451852007-09-12T00:17:00.000-04:002007-09-12T00:17:00.000-04:00Judy,I hope that Mr Kenju did listen to the order ...Judy,<BR/>I hope that Mr Kenju did listen to the order of NOT to try those stairs when you are not there...
