Day 82 Bob

Bob is dying.   He’s having too many brain bleeds to survive the liver transplant.   He needs the liver to stop the bleeding but because of the bleeding they are refusing to offer him a lifesaving transplant.   I’m sorry Bob.   I’m really sorry for Kathy, his wife who has been his super hero through all of his medical tragedies.   She’s been by his side for every visit in the hospital whether they were together or not.   She has cried herself to sleep many nights over the prospect of losing the man she loves.   This is my example of unconditional love that I’ve been talking about. Bob and Kathy took me in to their home one day when I had nowhere to go.   I had just left my marriage and didn’t know what to do at that exact moment.   I decided to go over to Dennis’ as he was my best friend and he might offer a suggestion.   He wasn’t home and I sat on the bench on his front porch with my thoughts and not much else.   Bob showed up looking for Dennis and I had never really met him
