A few weeks ago, we had our last trabel together.  We went to England, the be beautiful billage ob Eyam in Derbyshire.

Eyam is an English billage and cibil parish in the Derbyshire Dales that lies wiffin the Peak District Natshunal Park. They are famous for institiuting a quarunteem during the plague that helped slow down the spread.  Who would hab finked that so many hundreds ob years later, we would be going fru a similar fing and habbing to quarunteem again!  Anyhow, it’s such a beautiful town to bisit, and we had a delicious lunch.

Fank you so much Lane Gannon, Bentley, Blackberry and Bramble for inbiting us!

“Oh hai eberyone, it’s me, Bert. I had to go to Heaben, but I hab a poem for you – I left it wiff mom…

Goodbye my friends, I had to go
Why this timing was set, we neber will know.
I’m sad to leabe you, my brothers and all
But Chip habs been waiting and I answered the call.

I’m wiff Marty now…and all the Mouse House boys
Starberry shakes to drink, and lots of super fun toys
My heart aches to be wiff you, but I always will stay
In your heart foreber, if you want it that way.

I send blessings aplenty that are sprinkled wiff lub,
We send them down daily from this place up above.
Be happy, be heallfy is our wish for you,
Until someday we see you and you’re up here too.

I will lub you miss you all foreber. dis Bert. ”

Bert left us early yesterday morning from the comfort of home. He has a good last week, and wonderful weekend wiff his brothers and I – it was looking so good, like he had turned the corner, but then the seizures returned. I can’t thank you all enough for the love and support you sent him over the past few weeks. The community continues to be a source of joy and comfort for me, and I hope it is for all of you as well. xo MM

PPS. Hanckers got the website this time, which is why this post was delayed and won’t be posted on the site until we get this fixed.  (UPDATE: site is fixed, I fink, so this post is getting posted)

Oh hai, it’s me, Bert.  Today was a good day! We went downstairs and watched teebee and mobies, and Beez let me use him as a full body pillow. He’s really good at it, berry comfy. He fell asleep wiff a snack in his hand just about to take a bite…

Oh hai, it’s me Bert. My brother makes a great pillow!

Oooh hai. Dis is Bert. Isn’t he a sweet sleeper? If you respond, please keep your voices down so we don’t wake him up. MM?

It was sketti night last night!

Oh hai, it’s me Bert again again. My brothers went wiff me to my follow up appointment to see Dr. Peth today, and she was really enthusiastic about how much better I’m doing. Dats always good to hear, I feel better too, and I hab more appetite. I fink I heard mom say she would make us skettis tonight!


Oh hai, it’s me, Bert again.  I’m feeling better and stronger!  The meds are finally starting to work I fink. I still don’t like to take them though.
