Comicoz Update....

 I just want to take a moment to say "Thank You" all the kind Family of Friends who have sent messages of support to both my daughter Rosanna and myself (and, by extension, to our family) over the past week. I am happy to report that Rosie is now back in her hometown and has caught up with her children (and other family members).

I won't go into the medical side of things, except to say that this is going to be a long struggle for Rosie (and her children), but I am now more confident that she will get there with the support of many wonderful people around her. I would like to acknowledge them all here, without having to name them. (You know who you are!) This also includes all the staff at the Townsville Hospital; as well as the Queensland Police Service and the Mental Health team who continue to work with her.

Unfortunately, I am unable to stay in Cairns indefinitely and I cannot stay for much longer. The essential "work" needed of me here will be just about complete in a week's time. I DO have to allow Rosanna some independence in her new, changed life. Without meaning to sound mean, I know Carlene (and Max and Moo) will be happy to have me home, and I am looking forward to their company.

I think my workmates might like to see me back at work too and Comicoz fans may also want me working on more comics. I may need some personal debriefing before I plunge headlong into either venture. Without going into specifics, this has been a most distressing time, not only for Rosie, but for her children, her family and friends, and even for the one who pretends he is so resilient, her Father.

Again, I thank you for your support and good wishes. It has meant a lot.
