It was so great to see Paul's family and friends at the Park on Friday. The Hatfields and the Jerde's are amazing people. Love prevails.

There was a colorful checkered blanket left behind at the Park and we are storing it till someone claims it, call 214-748-7488.

Micki went by the bridge the next day and saw the city workers taking down the signs and rescued some of them to give to the family. Pete has some photos to share of the group as well.

We love you Patty, Paul, Buzz, and all the family we have met. What strong, kind, and wonderful people. We are blessed to know you and can't wait for the next party that Paul attends.

Hugs and love, Micki and Pete Lacker

Happy Birthday dear White Buffalo
Happy Birthday to YOU!!

Love you, brave dude. I recommend you change your animal name to White Bull when you get back to your normal, strong self again. You are a super fighter and I know it will take a lot more than this to bring a man like you down.

Love and blessings, bro.

Paul -

Sending birthday wishes your way as you turn 44! Not a bad number, after all 40 something is the new 30 something you know!

Patty, thinking of you daily and so glad to hear that Paul is making progress by moving to a private room.

I check the blog daily and know soon that I will read that Paul is awake and back with us.

You have a wonderful, strong network of family and frieds as evidenced by the many comments on this blog. We are all pulling for you!

Hugs,
Tammy

One step at a time, my friend.
Today, it's private room and breathing on your own. Tomorrow, the possibilities are endless.

Love,

Dear Paul,

I am a stranger who is praying that for your birthday God would wake you up and that He would continue to heal you, strengthen you, and love on you and your beautiful family.

Found your blog through my church's prayer site (watermark community church).

I was out of town, so I could not attend the picnic. But' Hey..Paul--I called Sam to check on it and i just looked at the blog. I am so glad it was so huge! I got to play some golf with my son in Phoenix (never mind it was only 115)-we had a lot of fun. I told him about you--he now has yo on his prayer list. I know you'll be waking up soon, and I'll try annd remember to tell you about Rocco and Tiger. Wake up soon--we need to play some golf.

Happy Birthday Paul! You would have been totally amazed at the signs Friday night. I drove by early Saturday before they started taking them down and it was awesome! Give us all a gift and wake up on your B-day, it would be a great way to celebrate your day!

Dearest Paul (and Patty and Buzz, too!),

A big happy birthday to ya OLD MAN!

It’s your friend Alexa here with a big hello from the Croft family in Denver.

In the words of our little ones it sounds like you’re recovering from a mighty big owie! Wish I had a BandAid to make it instantly better. News traveled slowly to Denver, but I am so thankful that it did. Funny thing, you and Patty were in my thoughts the other day, and now I know why.

So since Saturday, you all have been on my mind and in my conversations with God. Just was thinking that you’ve got yourself one incredibly strong and amazing lady (what a great wedding picture that is posted on the blog –– how old were you, anyway? Seventeen?). And little Buzz is a big Buzz now (wait, was he ever LITTLE : )? What a looker! And those toe-head blonde curls! Wow! He sure has changed since those couple of times we went over to visit him at the day care across from RSW. You must be one proooouuuuddd papa!

Now, if you’d like the ho-hum details of our life, wiggle a toe.

[reader if he wiggled it, read on. If not, read on anyway]

Last April we bolted out of SoCal. It was a nice stay, but we were happy to blow that pop stand. We’re comfortably settled 10 miles south of Denver. We’ve added one more to the family. Miles was born last September. Needless to say, our hands are very full. My days seem very full. Changing diapers, deciphering the words of my 2-year olds’ vocabulary, giving lots of hugs, then the next minute pulling my hair out. Oh, but what a joy it is. These kids teach us so much about ourselves. Brent is still working for BECK. I am down to one client which is about all I can manage at the moment. We’re headed to Indiana this week for the 4th to visit Brent’s family (don’t you or Patty have ties there?). So, as you can see, we’re just living life … nothing too exciting right now. Just watching the boys grow and being the best parents we can be.

So that’s the update. Am so glad we have a way to keep updated on your progress, too. Just know that as you rest and get better and that brilliant mind of your heals up –– and is ready to wake up –– we’ll be here.

Lots and lots of love,
The Croft Family

Happy Birthday, Paul! 44, is that all?!

Your old buddies from Denton, Fineline, art classes, well we're thinking about you and wishing and praying daily for your eyes to open!

It's been so many years back in school when you were that young bushy haired chipper trying to figure out what you were going to do with yourself. Now you're a hot shot in the Dallas design scene! You rock dude, and everyone is so proud of you.

Many blessings to you, your lovely wife and family, and your adorable little Buzz.
