Kevin had a good day yesterday. Mike came by and visited for quite a while, Keith brought the folks over for a short one. Mr. Russell was very tired. During the night Kevin became very needy. Dave got up with him several times. At 5 I got up and realized that he wants me in the room with him. Just in the House is not enough. I have also come to terms with the fact that he is not just in and out of conciseness, he is also in and out of reality. He told me that he is dreaming and some are memories. When he wakes he is confused where or when he is. This usually is just a few moments long. He is also calling out in his sleep. I am afraid that he will loose his hold on reality before he is unable to wake. Kevin is a proud man and he would be horrified at the stated he is in if he could completely comprehend it. I also wrote a draft of his eulogy last night. I was unable to read it aloud. Keith will do the final edit and it will be ready for the announcement.

I know this is very hard on both of you. I admire your dedication and the love you have for Kevin. I went back and read all of your updates again and had a good cry last night.

I can't imagine how difficult this must be. I have been remembering my years of knowing Kevin and you: good times and not as good times. Please know that I care for both of you.
