chilli, yes man,, this thread helps me more then you know..makes feel almost feel guilty sometimes though...like im gettin way to much credit for what im doing..theres been alot of times i didnt go see phil when i had the chance too...just didnt have it in me that day...and that bothers me alot...but i have lil ones to raise and a life of my own to live also, so thats what i tell myself! as far as takin him to the RR, i was all plannin on leavin our show to go get him myself, but i got with his bro roger and he said he would bring him if he felt up to it!!! i was so greatful that he was feelin good enough to come down! thanks for the kind words bro, and i hope your still doing good yourself! athena, you are a sweetheart! thanks punkin...if i werent married and you werent married, and we werent all great friends and i wasnt so very unattractive.....well, you get the point! .
well, for the last coupld months , phils been pretty well in bed..now he never leaves it...he is so very tired and very skinny he did confess his life to CHRIST to and actual preacher after he did for me...so thats great! its kind of "just waitin for the phone call", vibe the last 3 weeks....he can hardly even talk anymore! i hope he goes soon...he has been here long enough! no need to suffer further! okay, just thought id update you all! and THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR THE PRAYERS! todd reed and family
I dunno what to say bro...with whatever happens you know I'm always here if you need to talk man, day or night anytime...
Todd, I'm fairly new to this site and this is the first time that i have seen this post. I'm so sorry for all your friend is going through. I lost both my mom and dad to cancer. It is horrible. What you are doing for phil will never be forgotten by him or his family. When a sickness like this happens you find out who your real friends are. I know how hard this has been on you. God bless you for being there for him. Gasser Girl
todd, thanx for the update. i must confess; i haven't thought of phil for a while. outta sight - outta mind. and my memory is so short to boot. i'll get phill, his family/friends, and you back into my prayer list. please let us know occasionally what his status is. i need a reminder once and a while to keep important stuff like this in the front of my feeble mind.
mike, its my fault for not updating....i just happened to see it last night so i thought id add a lil to it...imma try to get out there tommarrow and see him again...doubt if itll be too long from now...actually, its been a year and a week since it took him to the hpital and they told him it was a tumor...i never dreamed he'd still be here. he was in such back shape then, i just couldnt see it lasting long...but he's bull headed, so that helps! thanks folks! ohh and mikey,, yeah, i have your number buddy! but you know i only call when im drunk to tell ya i love ya!
I just read this whole post and it makes me feel how short life really is. Your friend is in my prayers and so are you. I know the emptiness and guilt you are feeling, is there something else could I be doing etc. I have just lost my best friend to pancreatic cancer, I was fortunate to have been with him the day he passed. Reading this post to this point I believe God is preparing to welcome him into his kingdom at any time now so make all visits count. Phil will forever be with you in many ways. So God Bless and be strong. Gerry Moe
Deep breaths, good memories and strong family are the way to get through these trying times. Best wishes.
oh man just read this post I don`t know what to say? but my best to you and your friend. your a good man breeder !
You've got my good energy, I'll be thinking the best for you all. Be strong Phil. Everybody wake up up and enjoy the time we've got. Don't get tripped up on life's little shit, Live with a purpose! __ Trout
thanks gang....i was just out there a few hrs ago....phil has really really went down fast since last week...his face is sunken, and he stopped eating, also, he is really hard to understand! he was telling our friend, that works there and at our restaurant, that he's ready to leave. wants to go to his mom and dads, who of course are gone....i am certain he knows he wants to leave and be with his family, and i would almost guess that will happen before next week....but he has fooled me on more then one occasion! okay...thanks much again ! Todd
Just caught up with this thread again . Hadn't realized how long it had been since we were updated. Prayers will go out afresh for you and your friend. May God attend to both of your needs at this time. Frank
So sorry to hear about your close buddy. I'm sure you know I'm an oncologist. Let me know if I can be of any help. SK
My prayers are for the mental and emotional strength that GOD has given all of you involved. And for the rigidity of the vessel that he has given all of us to carry our souls within. How he chooses us to realize how fragile that vessel is, is some how humbling and saddening at the same time. Creating an awareness of the necessity of the loving relationships that bind us. Without which we all would be in despair. And it is obvious here the solidity of the somewhat nonexistant relationships all of us here have , but to find the humanity in us that reaches out to care for those of us who are alike. May GOD be with you and those around you in your time of need . Chris Moos.
I'm sorry to bother this board again with this but.....phil has taking a turn for the worse and I'm going to sit and hold his hand all night! please help with prayers tonight if you can!
