my friend guido
dear guido, two weeks ago you feel 8 meters (24 feet) from a roof. You are in critical but stable condition. Everything from your neck down is healing great but the concern is your brain. You have been taken out of your medical coma and now you need to wake up on your own. I know you need to rest and let your body heal but you need to give your family a sign. Please blink your eyes, say something anything! i have thought of you as my older brother since 1987, i need you. please wake up...
P.S. - this is on my chalkboard wall in my kitchen, it is our mantra...
love, cindi xoxoxoxo
