I just got back from NC, my best friend and a fellow I worked with for years had an aneurysm that caused a stroke and is now laying in ICU with no control. He is aware of what is going on but has limited ways to respond. this has always been my biggest fear. I am not afraid to die, but this scares me. As I was by his side talking to him I had to look at what I am most afraid of, and it is terrifying. I could see that he was terrified, but there was absolutely nothing I could do.

They are doing an operation today to repair the aneurysm, and if that goes well there is a chance that he can regain some ability but will be paralyzed on one side. He is the best of men, love him like a brother and would trade places with him in a heatbeat if I could. He has a wonderful family and is a great son/husband/father/grandfather as well as an amazing woodworker. So very sad.

If you are having a bad day, just imagine this, and you will just carry on.

Thanks for listening.
