Day 74: Well folks...she's home!

At this very moment, mom is sleeping in her clothes, in her bed, next to the love of her life. She had an extremely tiring day filled with a lot of emotion, many tears of joy, tears of happiness and tears of appreciation.


If you could have seen her as we were driving into TRR...to spot the beautiful yellow ribbons, to walk into her home filled with beautiful flowers, balloons, cards, signs, chocolate cake, orchids, champagne...

Two months ago dad and I can home to gather some belongings to bring to the hospital. Family pictures, moms favorite lotion and lip balm, you know just some belongings. I clearly remember as clear as the sky is blue wondering if I would ever return home to their house and have mom with us. At the time I could barely stand myself for thinking such a thought but it was true.  I'm sure dad had the same thought.


So to be here tonight and to see mom, dad and Teddy together as a family is certainly a sight to behold. Mom said tonight that now she feels like the healing can begin as she is surrounded by the friendship and love of her friends and family.

Thank you all, so many of you for taking the time to follow moms progress and share in her day to day milestones with us. We will probably continue the blog as well but for how long we don't know. In the meantime, please enjoy some wonderful pictures from today...

  1. The blog has been wonderfully comforting and enlightening, and you'll never know how much everyone appreciated your efforts - over and over and over again. I suggest that it's time to let Boise and Don get back to Life without feeling a need to convey information any more than they choose to. . . .respecting their privacy and peace is my commitment to them. . . I just need them to know that we are all here ready to support and assist. . . . With whatever, whenever. . . .Welcome, welcome, welcome! Xoxoxoxo Cyndi and Harvey and clan!

  2. This was so wonderful to read - we both have tears in our eyes. Thank you so much for the effort required to write this blog during difficult times. It has been a gift to many of us to know what is happening, and the understand, a little, the extent of the miraculous recovery of a lady we like and admire. We understand that there is still a long road ahead - but now Boise and Don can enjoy the simple pleasures of life in their own home, which is a huge blessing. Hallelujah!

    Welcome home,
    Laurel & Ron

  3. Stacy--I just have to thank you once again for your beautiful and thoughtful postings on the Taylor family and Boise. What a journey.

    I'm thrilled you're home Boise and feeling the healing energy we have been sending your way. All last week thru today, I was in Phx, and teared up when I drove in and saw the yellow ribbons. You are loved. Mary
