Being here yesterday....

Howdy, just had an issue this week I wanted to share. I have a friend who got throat cancer. Sad case, as usual, early 60's retired NYPD non smoker, the worst of all possibilities. We had a different kind of relationship as he got sicker, as he put it "your the only one who is not constantly asking my entire medical history and telling me how to cure yourself". We chalked that up to the fact I was disabled. We built an even better friendship as he got sicker. He wasn't doing too bad lately so when he was not returning calls, I was not too worried. Then I got a message on answering machine that said I should call today. I was sick myself that day and was sleeping. Something in my brain said that I should call. I called, I could tell he was so very sick. he said, "I can feel it, the time is coming" He was calling to say goodbye. I had not quite woken up yet and was NOT the call I was expecting, to say the least. I gained as much composure as I could muster, told him I loved him and would see him again and he said keep the faith in that just coherent enough voice to know there wont be another time.... SO much more I wanted to say but I am completely grateful I got to say goodbye at all.
There is a message here, I promise. A few weeks ago I put up header in room, "Everyone that died yesterday had plans for today" It is so true, the only time we can live is now, not yesterday or tomorrow. Do not miss the little things, follow your brain, it is usually right. That is it, simple, to the point. Shine on!!! Dude
