Today, I got the call I had hoped and prayed would never come.

Right after Thanksgiving, I posted a thread about Coach Pastner giving my friend David an uplifting moment in his battle against cancer. Something that I got to witness first hand and made David light up like I hadn't seen in a very long while. He was admitted into the hospital on Monday for various ailments. Today, I got a call from his brother telling me that they will be sending him home with a hospice nurse tomorrow morning.

This is so hard because we have been close friends since we were kids. Over 25 years we have experienced so many aspects of life. So many things that many people take for granted in their journey - and now, except for the memories....its gone. There are only a handful of people that have really been a big part of my life. That is something you can never replace. I can't even begin to talk about his daughters and what they will be missing. He has tried so hard to hide his sickness from them and be the dad he has always been. I just...I don't know...

I just want to ask that you guys please, please pray for him and his family. This is just so incredibly hard for me right now. I love him so much....

Prayers sent.

Done.

I hope you find comfort in my prayers. This sort of thing seems impossibly hard, I know. Be grateful modern medicine can at least help make such afflicted people somewhat comfortable.
