Dylan

One of the few good things about Richard being ill is that people have come from all over the globe to be with us. Here are some lovely photos of Richard with Dylan. Not too many tears now!
You should have seen Richard's face when Dyl walked into the ward. And his chest expanded exponentially as he told every person with eyeballs all about Dyl's architectural work and beautiful wife and kids. I think there may be a mass exodus of nursing staff to Singapore when Dyl's hospital opens there. I'll try and get the flash video of his lotus building that is being built on a lake in China.
It was so good to see them together.
Here he is being VERY brave at Heathrow airport as he says goodbye to his sister Roxi.
Thank you Dyl and thank you Steph, Asher, Elkan and Orson for sharing your husband and your Daddy with us for a while.
Luckily he leaves Richard in the capable hands of Roxi and SUE THOMAS.

Sending you much love from across the world in these sad and strange times. I have followed your life on your blog and have felt so connected to you from so far away. I am now so sorry to see that Richard is unwell and the pain you are both feeling.

Love always

Hi Joey, I haven't met you but I am an old and longtime friend of Rick and family. Seems like life's swirling around before my very eyes and at times like this the love is everywhere. I'm thinking of Rick all the time now, I cooked up tofu last night and realised it was how Rick used to cook it, rolled in cornflour and deep fried, yum! The memories never fade tho its many years since we've seen the flesh & bones. May the great big goodness of it all be with you and Rick and Roxie and everyone. I dedicated my Thursday class to you and it's just a small country class but the funds are there, a tiny little substitute for our love and best wishes.
I'll continue to follow the blog, it's a generous thing to share. xxx

Dear Suzanne. What a blessing you are. Rick has talked many many times about you and I hope I get to meet you.
Yes the love is everywhere and as Dylan's amazing wife Steph wrote to me in an email it's a privelege to go through this with someone like Rick. He's an amazing man and you can tell all the nursing staff really get it and really get him as he is more concerned about their welfare than his.
I'll try and keep going on the blog as it's so nice to connect with people like you.
