Taylor will be home for good in about 48 hours.
He decided yesterday to take the insurance company up on a partial home visit. They offered to let him go home for the weekend, but he said it would be too hard to stay and then have to leave. It was easier for him to stay for the day and leave. The closer Tuesday gets, the tougher it's getting for him.
I picked him up this morning and he's been at home all day visiting friends, hanging with his cat and enjoying a grilled steak for the first time since February.
Yesterday Lauren got back from a week in west Tennessee, attending the 181st Tabernacle Camp Meeting family reunion of the Rev. Howell Taylor descendants. During the week, Lauren did a lot of videotaping and had many of his 500 cousins in attendance wished him well on tape. Andrew Kramer, Taylor's cousin and a talented musician, played "Wish You Were Here", a Pink Floyd tune that Taylor really likes. What was especially cool about this performance was that it was done at the church on the family campgrounds, during an evening service. Only at Tabernacle could someone get away with playing Pink Floyd in church. Watching the video tapes Lauren made, and watching those he missed seeing this year - then hearing that Andrew played "Wish You Were Here" for him was a little overwhelming for him last night. He still gets emotional when he thinks about those who have been so good to him through all of this. Several times he's said he just never knew so many people cared about him. Obviously, they do.
So, now we wait. Less than 48 hours and Taylor will be back home.
