Yep..I hope God heals her now

Nobody wants to live like that they just get overwhelmed by life

I’m in my hometown dealing with my bff who’s in hospice after a life of alcoholism and drug addiction

From a prominent rich family and now it’s just me and his sister and a driver

Sailed the world with me saw plenty adventure all over and bullets flying and women beyond description of beauty and charm and money in piles

Now just in Gods waiting room waiting for pill call four times a day chain smoking Reds

6’3” 115 lbs

Pancreatitis
Heart failure
Diabetes
Hep
Neuropathy bad

And I think the slims too from firing dope but he won’t admit it

He can do whatever he wants now...smoke....strippers in the room...he’s dying..

It’s a few months likely but he’s very tuff...most folks would be long since room temp

I’m down here every 2-3 weeks...drive the Trace in the damp gloom thinking of all those folks who use to walk or horseback it thru hostile territory back to Nashville

I hadn’t seen him in 15 years

We sharply diverged

Love and duty...I make sure my kids get it....my 10er is with me

Nobody wants or dreams of that life. I’m sorry for your friend. You’re a good guy. That must bring him comfort. Very sad what they throw away without ever realizing it.

Being a good friend is hard. And your friend is damn lucky to have you as a good friend, as your being there shows when so few are.

Your 10er is getting a valuable life lesson ... good job, wardaddy.

Wow - sorry to hear it. I’m amazed at how many folks I used to go to school with are dealing with addiction or children’s addiction to drugs/alcohol. Terrible...
