Some of you may recall me mentioning my dear friend Tommy, who I recently found out is dying from cancer, and me wanting to visit him before it's too late. We had heard that his wife didn't want anyone coming over to visit, but when Randall went back to work, he found out that that was not true and Tommy did want his friends to come over to see him (Tommy used to work at the same place as Randall & I, and that is how we know him). After finding that out, we decided we would go see him, which we got to do on Monday. As much as I'm glad that I got to see him, I'm also very upset by it.
We were told that he's still in fairly good shape and is still coherent considering the circumstances, which isn't true: he's in really bad shape. He's nothing but skin & bones, and while we were there, he kept saying how confused he is: the life that used to be in his eyes is gone. I'm not sure he even knew who we were.
I'm really shook up over seeing him like that: I wanted to remember him as he was. Tommy was always so full of life, and always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. He was the kind of person everyone wanted to be around, cuz he was so vibrant & fun-loving, and always had something good to say about everyone. I remember when I was going thru that horrible time with the abusive ex, and Tommy was about the only one who could make me laugh when I was hurting & confused over that horrid relationship. He was there to comfort me when I was alone & scared & hurting, and always gave me a shoulder to cry on. He was my dear friend, and I'm going to miss him horribly. I'm bawling all over again just writing this, and thinking about how unfair it is to see him suffering like this. He doesn't deserve it...
A part of me is glad that I got to see him before he's gone, but I'm also really upset over seeing him that way. It's not the way I wanted to remember him.
Please pray for my dear friend y'all, and send all the spare vibes that you can that he passes peacefully with as little pain as possible.
I'm gonna miss you, Tommy. You meant more to me than you'll ever know.
Thanks for listening, y'all.
