today.
by far a day i will never forget
getting up early is never good for me but today i made it a duty.
driving 45 minutes did not matter
neither did the fact that the person i went to see was still dead asleep
waiting and eating at huddlehouse was nice
drive back over it started to hit me
knocking on the front door of a house i didn't know
and having someone open the door that was basically my brother
wanting to just give him a huge hug but feeling like i may break him...unbearable.
meeting the dad i woke up to his snoring again made me smile
red bull really is good for some people
downstairs on couches talking for 3 hours was very hard
only 2 cries. his faith held my head up
its hard to imagine that someone so sick has so much faith.
so i got the whole story in full detail. bit by bit.
a few friends stopped by but they too soon left
so again it was he and i.
his frail body was hard to see. but his warm smile was still the same.
he stayed strong for the both of us.
i met his family. they all are very sweet
we watched mulan...or i did.
his morphean and laxative dosses made him on and off sleep
the oxygen mask he used ever 15 minutes made me want to fall apart
but it was watching his face slowly fade in color and fear in his eyes they broke me down the worst
like i said. today was hard.
and i will remember it always.
