Pádraig is alive and keeps getting better.
So infinitely more than any of the doctors who treated him would have thought.
There are many hundreds of people all over the world who have in a real and very significant way contributed to his very slow but very steady recovery.
There are thousands of people, some are random strangers, who have heard about what happened to him, who have heard 
about he phenomenal support by his wider family and friends, who spontaneously send messages of supports and contribute to caringforpadraig.org.
Right now, two years ago, we were frantically booking tickets to get to Cape Cod as fast as was possible. Pat and Pádraig’s sisters here in Dublin, myself in Sanya, on an island in the South China sea. Nothing was real.
They promised us that he would be alive when we got there.
Today, Pádraig had a picnic in the park with Pat, and a beer, to celebrate. He is alive and keeps getting better. And soon, he will be back in Dublin.
Now, how’s that, Dreamboaters?
Hospi-Tales 
We will all keep fighting reinhard.
Like the young Brendan Behan or the young Luke Kelly (you got the voice) or Che (you got the looks), Andrew. Pádraig is so fortunate to have you as a friend. We’ll keep fighting together. And we’ll never give up or give in. ¡Hasta siempre!
Delighted to be updated on all the outings and progress on site.we pray for all, your strength and health.Lord, guide us to leave no stone unturned in what we can do to reach out ..Slán agus beannacht.Norma agus an chlann.
It’s so good to hear from you and thank you and your family for your good wishes and prayers, Norma.
Thanks Reinhardt and Pat for so much positive mind, every day, when you speak about you and what happend to Padraig. You are a beautiful model of courage and perseverance for me, for ever.
Thank you, Marianne, for all your encouragement! To be honest, I don’t feel positive every day. There are days when the sky seems to be falling down on us (in my mind). But there other days, too, good days when we don’t look back but live in the present trying to best we can out of it.
