What a Good Day for All

First to let everyone know that my sister, Nancy has finally found the time to update the blog site and tell you about the raffle. She is self employed and works very hard in real estate. She is also the one behind all the administrative stuff for Mike and spends hours each day on so many different things. So if you look at the left hand side of this posting and scroll down to Photo Album, Nancy has posted 20 pictures for everyone to see. It doesn't cost anything to join and see the pictures. If you click slide show and then go to the first picture it will start the show. To slow it down, there is a slide bar at the top, move it to the left. Nancy did good. Then if you scroll down further you will see what she posted about the raffle and the results. She mentions everyone that was involved and helped her tremendously. Mike has done a lot better today. Remember Hunter's soccer game was this evening. Well he scored a goal. Mike talked to him on the phone and it was filled with joy. Mike also talked to Jesse and asked him to be a good boy for his mother and told him he was getting better and that they would be able to hang out together very soon. He told Jesse they would do something together, like fishing. Mike talks about the out pouring of comments, messages, prayers, candles, donations, and of course Barbaro. He is still very emotional and can't understand why people would want to read about him. He cries when we tell him the number of people who have visited his blog, or left messages and poems, or lit candles for him. He so appreciates everything with such emotion and disbelief. Again, thank you so much for all the encouragement and just everything. I told Mike that God had a plan for him and it must be something really good because so many people must feel this and are interested in following him on his race to recovery. I asked him if he remembered saving those horses from that terrible fire at Fair Hill. He looked at me like he didn't remember and then burst into tears and said, "Yes, no one knew those horses were in the back of the barn and I was the only one there to get them out." "But Tammy came and helped me." He saved four horses and there were a couple of articles written about Mike and Tammy Burlin and the fire. So I said to him that he had risked his life to save those horses and did he remember what Mr. Bruce Jackson had said to him? To quote a paragraph from the Delaware News Journal dated Nov. 4, 2005: "To risk injury in order to save horses from a burning barn is a testament to their devotion, and a statement about their friendship and integrity found among fellow members of the horse community here at Fair Hill." So now Mikey do you understand why people are so interested in you? Yes, Cathy. Good night to all and God Bless Everyone, Mike, and Barbaro.
