Florine's Condition

Life can turn on a dime! However, it's what you make of it when you have it that counts, and my lady makes every second count.

She is at a grave juncture in her journey, and I have been with her every step of the way, from Connecticut to Africa, for 37 years, and my choice would be to be with her through eternity.

I would like t0 share a letter from a Japanese lady from Tokyo who, seven years ago, lived with us for six months as an english student (please ignore gramatical errors, but don't ignore her heart). As you can see, Florine touched her too!

"John,

Now,I cheaked email for send a picture to Florine and you...

I was so shocked to hear the news.
I love her very much.I have respect for her and I want to be like her person.

John, Stay strong. I and my family pray for her everyday and everymoment.

I will send a picture with lots of Love,

Mika"



Oh, the power of my Babe! Love for Florine has no borders.

Sleep tight Baby Doll,

See ya in the morning,

John

John,

We continue to pray for Florine's healing, and for strength for you, as you help her through. When I told my boys about her accident, one of them asked, she's one of Dad's classmates, the one with the awesome smile, who's always so nice to us, right? Florine has such a warm personality, that even teenage boys can relate to her. We will continue to pray for her healing. Thanks for the continued updates.

Sue, Denny, and boys.

Uncle John,

I have such wonderful memories of my visit with both of you when I was 19. It was right before I left for the Army. You encouraged me to try different foods and I had my first legal margarita in Mexico with Aunt Babe. I felt very connected to both of you. Aunt Babe took me to the zoo.
I also remember all the barbie clothes she made for my sister & I. She even sent furniture she found at a yard sale. Carrie & I, as well as our families love & cherish her very much. Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Renee (Adams) Waddell and family

Uncle John,

Your blogs are so passionate and endearing. I share the similiar love with my husband of 17 years.
We all pray for her everyday. She is a fighter and full of life.

My dear Florine and John,

Danny, Malia and I were sadden to hear about Florine's accident. We are praying for her recovery and for you John. Wow, hasn't Florine always lived life to the fullest? Although this is a terrible accident, Florine was enjoying a special moment in her life, doing what she loved. That is what I have always admired about that lovely lady. John, I know you are dealing with this and we respect your wishes but if there is anything you need your family in Riverside is only a phone call away.We are anxious to give you a big hug and see you to share words of love and support. Tell Florine we love her. A big hug to you John and please give Florine a kiss on the cheek from us. We love you both! God bless.
