I never got to posting this in a timely manner, but this morning I took (lj-user: notdefined) and (lj-user: mh58) back to the airport. They were here almost exactly fourteen hours. It was good to see Tommy again after years and to finally meet Morgan, even if it was under some crappy circumstances.
We first came back to the studio to unwind and wait for the next block of visiting hours, then I drove them over to see (lj-user: rockey1). All things considered, I think John looks good, but the strain and frustration of the ordeal is obvious on his face. I am told he is talking again, but he was too tired and his mouth too dry to say much while we were there.
On the personal side, it was rough for me to watch the interaction among the three of them at times. After so many years, I would not think it to be so difficult to watch someone in a comparable medical situation, but it is.
The friendship and love between John and Tommy and Morgan are just astounding. To embrace the concept of living by example, this is the best example of how I wish to pattern myself in life and love and relationships…
After the visit with John, I brought them back to the studio, fed them, had some great conversation and let them rest up for their early flight back home. This year has already had ample visitors to the studio, which has allowed me to embrace the understanding that I do very well internally in the pursuit of doing for others, hosting and entertaining guests. Now to simply deal with the studio space in a manner that is worthy of such fine people. This has to happen. I am becoming embarrassed by how poorly I manage the place for myself and that will never lead to a good space in my head…
