a father's friend

today is a sad day.....actually its been sad for a while now...my father's best friend,who was also very special to me, died....when he first got sick they thought it was pneumonia, but the doctor's said he only had a sinus infection...that didnt sound right....so after a biopsy and numerous tests it didnt seem like we were going to find out what was wrong...but they finally pinpointed it...pulmonary fibrosis....and there is basically no treatment or cure....it sucks.....it totally wiped him out...so fast...i wont go into details cause i will start bawling if i think about it too hard...we took my son brodie to the hospital to see "mr. jesse" and brodie looked at him and then looked at me and said, "mama mr. jesse is sick"...yes baby he is....i am trying to think about all the good times...his love for joan...golf....his kids....grandkids....and even his dogs....i loved watching him and joan play around with each other it was always funny....i used to go with my dad over to their house all the time...the first time i went over there his mother was staying with them...Mrs. Annie Byrd....we called her byrd...she was soooo funny to me...he would mess with her and get her all ralled up....it was funny....she could talk out loud because her trach had been removed...but you could still understand her...he would look at her and say "mama" and click his teeth together and for whatever reason she would do it back....and if you weren't careful she would give you a good smack on the butt when you walked by....he was very good to his mama...i know she is so happy to see her jesse again...i miss him so much..he was so funny...always making people laugh....he loved to laugh....its going to be very sad today when we have to say goodbye...i sooo dont want too....but atleast i know he isnt in pain anymore..he is at rest...
bye jt.....love you.
