Lynnette left for home today and Patti and I have taken over the writing from Italy. We miss her already but know that she is still here with us.
Well, what a great day to take over the blog and an amazing day this was. As Patti and I were visiting Len and talking to him all of a sudden he broke out in a big smile. Not just a little one but a full blown smile. It took our breath away. We both said at the same time" Oh my gosh, he smiled." I have waited for such a long time for some sign that he heard us or recognized us. He also has both eyes open and looks all over as if to say" How the heck did I get here". He also lifted his hand like he wanted me to hold it and I finally knew he was back.
We are celebrating this small victory and walked back to the apartment on clouds. It may seem like such a small thing to some of you but to me and each one of the kids and grandkids, brothers and sisters it is something to celebrate.
In honor of Len, Patti and I decided to go have pizza as this is one of his favorites. We found a wonderful little Pizzeria and ordered. I decided to have Pepperoni and cheese. Just for fun I ask for pineapple(pineapple and pepperoni is Len's favorite) and you should have seen the look I got. Guess I won't be getting any pineapple on my pizza here. Oh and by the way, pepperoni in Italian is peppers. It was great.
Hope you are as thrilled as we are here in Sunny Genoa( As my friend Leslie reminded me, "the sun always shines where Len is"
Aloha, Sue

Hi Ladies...the sun is shining here too in Murrieta. The tears of joy are falling upon my cheeks as I write. I am so happy to hear the update about Len. He has been in our prayers from the beginning and I feel like I have been along for the ride thanks to the blogs by all of your family. I will continue to pray for a speedy recovery and the kids and I will have a pep & pine pizza tonight in Lens honor. Please give yourselves a big hug from all of my family. Call anytime & know you are loved,

What wonderful news! I took a while to process this to the point I could comment without crying. I get so caught up with my day to day life and forget what really matters - like the smile of someone you love. Thanks for sharing with us via the blog. I celebrate your good news in my heart.
Take care.
