Our dear friend John "Nasty" Gallagher :)
Meryl:
Yeehaw, John! Either day is good, so let's make it Wednesday if Jenny agrees. Do you know a good place to meet that's near where you're staying?
Cain't hardly wait! 8)
YaadPyar:
Oooooooo - I'm jealous! I might just try to call you by cell phone. Can one of you pour a nice vanilla latte through the phone so I can feel like I'm there having coffee with you?
kirkmusic:
Glad you're feeling better John, and great to hear from you. (If I haven't said that already. Or even if I have ;D)

Precisely! You didn't even need any prodding from me to guess to which moment I was referring.
YaadPyar:
Wow! I just got off the phone from talking with John. I crashed the get-together with Meryl and Jenny and John, and I'm so glad I did. Meryl said she took a pic of John on the cell phone with me, so she'll post that some time I'm sure.
Wonderful, dear John is doing remarkably well. Speak and listening are challenging for him, but there's no challenge for his sheer warmth and lovliness to just shine through, and we were both in tears by the end of the call (which doesn't happen to me, I promise!).
I can't tell you how touching and special it was to speak with him, and know how much our love and good wishes have meant to him, and how real and important this community has become to each of us. One of the things he said was how, when he was still in the hospital, and would awaken at 4 or 5 in the morning, he would just sit quietly for a couple of hours, not thinking anything at all, but feeling completely peaceful, and what an extraordinary experience that was.
I'm sure Jenny and Meryl will post something about their experience, but wanted to catch you up on the latest. And when John's brain has repaired some I hope he'll be able to read this and post his own thoughts. I can't wait until then...
