In-depth feature from the Washington Post this week about the Ball we don't hear too much about, Tina. She's waging a long fight back from a stroke. Wishing her all the best as she continues her recovery.

That hits a little too close to home.

good to see her continually improve. Both of my maternal grandparents had strokes and they sadly spent the final 2-3 years of their lives afterwards basically bedridden.

She used to be my sister's PE teacher back in the day. Hope she gets a full recovery.

“That’s it!” Bob says. “Show me a J. Like ‘Jimmy.’ Or ‘jump.’ Jaaaayyy.”

She looks at him. In Tina’s mind, she is aware the letter J exists, but she cannot visualize it. The way Bob understands it, this is like searching a disorganized garage for a screwdriver: It’s here somewhere, but where?

“Jaaayyyy,” Bob says, but for now it is lost. “All right, then give me a G, like ‘gum.’ ”

She writes it almost without thinking.

“Now try a J,” he says.

“J . . .” Tina says, still unable to picture it.

“Like the one you used to always miss,” Catherine calls from the kitchen, and though the mental bridges between mind and mouth have been damaged, her mother’s words somehow cut a new path.

“Ohh! J!” Tina says, writing it on the board, and Bob gives her a fist bump and Catherine dances next to the refrigerator, and Tina rolls her eyes because she should’ve known it all along.

That broke me... not in a bad way... but because that was so touching and beautiful
