Processor Plans
Sorry for the wait guys. My partner and long time friend went into the hospital on Tuesday. His cancer is back, and the docs told me Thu that he only has about 3 months left.................Things are up in the air right now, and I've been spending a lot of time with him. Will really try and get the plans finished this week. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the support and prayers guys, they mean a lot to me. Earl's [my partner] children showed up today and went with him to the Doctor. He's elected to not go through Chemotherapy, and all the pain and suffering that goes with it [his wife went through that, and he won't]. His children all live out of state, and will be returning to their homes. My wife and I will be taking great care of him, and Hospice will be coming in daily, till The Lord takes him home. He's told me that at 80 years old, and loosing his wife 9 years ago, he is ready for the next level.
I've lost so many friends over the years I thought I was "hardened" to the pain.........but I am not. I know that I must be strong for him, but find it very hard to cope with the loss of my old friend. You can't pick your relatives, but you can pick your friends. I have very little to do with my relatives, but most of my friendships are 30-40 years old, and have lasted through divorces, etc.
Winter is not a very good time for me, and this just makes it even harder.

Don...it pains me to know you are suffering so, but warms my heart deeply to know you've had such genuine, heartfelt friendships in your life. You are obviously a generous, truly caring soul and many, many new loving friends will continue to come your way. You are a wealthy man my friend!!
All my best to your friend...he's a strong man!!
