Each day involved Chai putting in the garden he tended himself.

Chai and Pin 8
I'm sorry the surgery had to extend for another 6 hours. The reason is that when we were ready to end, suddenly his blood pressure dropped.So we had to take out his heart again, hook him up on life-support and find out the cause for the pressure drop. They are stitching him up now. He will be out in a while. We did 5 bypasses for him and also a ( Read more... ) -

Eventually the couple came to terms with the idea that Ah-Boy was never coming home.
At their 25th anniversary, they rewarded themselves and flew to Perth.
