went to see my friend...

Dear Readers,

I went to see my friend...
He said "hi Marc" when he saw me. He didn't need to say anything.
He was very tired. He has fought very hard.
I was happy to see him.
I told him thank you for everything.
Thank you for helping me to be who I am.
Thank you for the lessons and the laughs.
I told him he couldn't understand the impact he had on my life and so many others.

He was tired. I hugged his wife and wished her well.
I went down stairs and thanked the his brave family for allowing me a chance to thank him.
They are all amazing and strong. Beautiful.  I was grateful they provided me this opportunity.
"stay cool, stay cool" I said to myself. I wished them all well, shook hands and shared hugs.
 Hold it together.  they don't need to see me bawling... keep it together... They are carrying so much already...

I made it out the front door and probably 20 ft before I lost my shit...
I drove around the corner and stopped the car...

I...

respect
fm
