I think that this project has had many of us relating to our own lives and loved ones. It has been great to have Robin in the class with us to help us relate the problems and our concepts and and ideas to real lived experience.
Brad, your story brings back so many memories for me. When Robin had his accident, we were working away on an art project about my house. It never occured to me that our lives were about to change completely. I suppose I could have walked away from the situation - many did. It's so traumatic and upsetting, I understand why people sometimes cannot handle it at all. Perhaps this is why so many old people are institutionalized - fear. But Robin and I had made a pact to finish work on the house project and I decided to follow that, lead where it may. Art really does have amazing and limitless possibilities. Thanks for telling the class about your family's profound experience.
