Mundo February 12th 07 12:01 PM

Death and Dying
 
Group,
This morning I am off to say good bye for the last time, my 40 year sailing
buddy, and life mentor.. He is terminal from lung cancer. I do not feel bad
as he has dodged quite a few bullets and it is his time. Still it will be
hard to say good bye. He is unconscious at this point and hooked up to
sustain "life". Tomorrow hopefully it will end for him. I consider him
fortunate that he is surrounded by his family and friends at this time. He
has not lived an empty life.

Hate to hear the news Mundo. I had to do the same thing almost 10
years ago with my best friend, mentor ect.
Watching your best friend die is not easy.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the
silence of our friends.

My prayers to you and your mentor. May God receive him with pride. May
you remember him with fondness and joy...

Sorry to hear this Mundo. Perhaps he'll have a nice yacht, fair winds, and
following seas in the great beyond.
