brother of mine...

A guy that’s like a brother to me has found out that he has tumor the size of a fist in his brain...I found out yesterday and it tore me up pretty good that I can’t be there next to the bed with him.

This guy is family to me as we shared many good and bad times together. Both out in the great outdoors that Alaska has to offer and those late night deep talks. We have both been there when the other needed and I simply can’t make the trip right now😢.

TOO being a big part of my support network now, I wanted to share and hope some of you can at least think of him if I’d get a chance. He goes in for surgery later today and I can’t even think about the worst without it breaking my heart. Trying to stay strong but sometimes you just gotta let it all out...

We hunted and fished together, he is my boy/brother from another mother. Biggest redneck brown mutt you ever did see. Strong hearted boy that has the drive to get through this, but some things are beyond our control. They always say the good ones die young and that’s the part that hurts the most. Damn good guy!

Thanks fellas, gonna be a long day till I get the word.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

Prayers for your buddy as well as the surgery team.

Sometimes life doesn’t make sense but we should always Trust in Him.

Praying for you too Giles.

Sorry to hear of this Dave.

Given the change in date are you able to go? I know you just got back to work and all. If there is anything I can do just give a yell.

Not really an option but Christine is looking at ticket prices right now. $741 to leave late Friday and returning early Sunday morning. Basically be on the ground in AK for less then 8 hours.

Taking time off work isn’t really an option right now. I’m sure I could pull the boss aside and get a day off, to be honest, I don’t think I could hold my composure long enough to have that talk with him...

You've got my number Dave. Day or night. Don't hesitate. True friends are tough to find. I'm glad your friend found you. You're being a true, genuine, excellent friend and human being. Prayers for all involved.

No matter what the outcome....you should share your thoughts in this post with him.

I'm quite certain it will make you both feel better.

A simple "I love you" lasts many miles and many years.
I sent him the link. Not only my thoughts, but he deserves to know all of you are thinking of him TOO.

Fucking love you Roberto! 😂🖕🏿

He hates it when I call him that. 😂

Sorry about your brother from another.

Have a friend going through it now too, for the second time. He has a great outlook considering.

Let him know what you think of him.
