Oh, kassie.....He did.....it was heart wrenching...I have to tell you this story.........he told me some time ago that his brother was dying of cancer. I think he said his brother was a soldier in WW2, (like my Dad), when he told me about his brother's (who is in his 80's) cancer. My bus driver is in his seventies and drives for extra money.

When I arrived at the bus where he was starting his route, he was very cordial (we are talking the greatest generation here), and then he asked if I remembered that he had told me about his brother having cancer. I said yes as a matter of fact I was thinking about his brother yesterday and even this morning. Well, he told me that his brother died yesterday. Then he told me that he just simply fell asleep with his family around him, and what better way for one to go than that, and he was relieved that his brother's suffering was over. I have to stop now and recompose myself. I was just going down there to wish this sweet man a Merry Christmas...
