I had a chance to reconnect with Jose Suganob at the Stroke Recovery Association of BC’s Open House on Friday, October 24. Stroke Recovery has moved into new offices in the same building as the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC/Yukon.

Jose is a stroke survivor and has aphasia. He is also an award-winning artist — a talent he discovered and nurtured after his stroke. He just sent me an e-mail with some photos he took. I’ll write more about the Open House later.

Jose works in a studio in Burnaby called Artists Helping Artists .

Daniel and I had planned to go to Florida for the launch of STS-125. The last flight re-scheduling was set for October 14 — the same day as the federal election. When Hubble had a major equipment failure, the launch was cancelled until early 2009.

Tonight when we got home we found this gift from Drew.
