The BWong Day Spirit Continues!
300 to 400 ppl. Beach-side Malibu-memory ultra-relaxing music. Dancing adults getting their groove on past 11 PM. Countless raffle items, individually prepared table decorations and keepsakes, a Speaker's Corner, a 50/50 draw (the gracious winner who donated her prize to Bryan!)....it was undoubtedly a great night of immeasurable love, spirit, hope...and food! Just mentioning any of these things made Bryan smile (and salivate...that curry goat was pretty good!), regardless of how he felt. People really do make a difference, and the organizers, chefs, speakers, and participants (present or not), should all give themselves a great pat on the back.
Although Bryan remains weak, it is obvious that seeing and knowing all the support that he has is great motivation. The dedication of his family, his relatives, his friends...all of you give him strength. When visitors see Bryan, Bryan's excitement has kept him more alert...he continues to crack up at jokes, pushes himself to work his muscles to keep them in use, continually tracks b-ball and hockey, and despite having to transfer over to IV lines for nourishment, is not giving up. Bryan & The Chocolate Factory + Regular Food is a great idea that his many friends who have visited have decided to put into Hospital Law.
Great Job Everyone!

Hey Bryan!
It's Gail! A childhood friend that you haven't seen in a LONG time! Your parents can explain who I am if you don't remember!
I was able to attend the dinner & dance w/ my parents & sister. Let me tell you, it was an amazing turn out! All for you! I was probably better known as the blue raffle ticket seller for the evening (w/ my sister)! They had me working hard, but anything for an old friend =0) I hit every table, so no one could run away!
Lots of food, family & friends & of course music! Your co-workers & friends must think we're crazy! Haha! I of course was one of those on the dance floor, joining in w/ the rest of the party goers! The dance floor was packed!
I expect to see you up & running like new very soon! Keep up the good spirits & we are all certainly thinking of you!
Until we next meet =0)
I went in tonight and said the Leaf game is on. His mom said that he asked to not connect the TV. He rarely can watch more than a few minutes at a time.
Anyway, he cracked a big smile when I mentioned the game.
Hmmm, maybe he'll change his mind.
