Dang....
I have had many acquaintances in life and several "true' friends. A good friend that helped shaped me into who I am is in a place that I cannot help him, his early onset alzheimer's is about finished with him. He is now in hospice care entering corner number 4 of the last lap.
Funny... you may not talk to a "good"friend for quit some time, even years, and you pick up as if it were yesterday. This is one of those friends to me. I have known his wife on and off since grade school and felt the kick of their daughter before she was born.
It pains me that there is nothing I can offer to him, his wife, or family to relieve their burden. Prayers are offered daily for their journey.
Tonight I offer up a toast to Lynn and the friend he has been...
