Concert on the Green

There is a new page that bloggers can look at: Perspectives of Close Friends. So far there is only one entry.  My good friend Mady wrote it, and I would like everyone to hear it.  It made me think about my stroke.  Mady has been my best friend.

On Sunday the 14th, I went to the Concert on the Green, an annual event at Mark and Liz Stoddard's house.  Sacred music was the theme for the night.  As a part of that, my stroke was highlighted because I was the guest of honor.  At the beginning of the concert, my husband and I sat inside.  In the intermission, I went outside and said, to the audience, a simple "Thank you."  After that, I went out and greeted the many people that came to show their support.  It was great, because my friends Jena, Sydney, Aubrey, Kaitie and Brooklyn were there.  I got along with my friends easily because they came one-by-one; I didn't have to talk to them all at once.  Those close friends were in a circle and I didn't have a hard time, but outside of that I still have a hard time talking.  I'm grateful for all the donations that still come to me.
