thinking of you and your friend..........

I write this with a heavy heart and a sullen attitude. I am angry, I am hurting and I feel helpless. Today started like any other day, but ended up being one of the worst days of my life. Today, life smacked me hard and brought me to my knees. Today I ask for prayers. I received a call this afternoon from my best friends wife. She was incoherent and manic. Unable to understand what was going on, I got in my truck and drove to their house 50 miles away to see what was going on. Upon arrival, several police officers were standing outside their home. They had a road block set up, so I parked my truck and pleaded with an officer to tell me what was going on. He said he didn't have the authority to tell me. I told him that this was my best friends house, we have been friends for almost 40 years, best friends for 40 years and I demanded to know what was going on. The officer called another deputy over and I was escorted to the corded off area in front of the house. My best friends wife was in the front seat of an officers car and when she seen me she bolted out of the car and squeezed me with power I didn't know existed. I still was unable to understand her, but I knew something seriously was wrong. To shorten this up. I found out my best friend, 40 freakin years of he and I doing everything together, was holed up inside the home, threatening to commit suicide! NO FREAKIN way!! This guy had it all, he is 46 and a year away from retirement. His whole life is ahead of him..... Or so I thought. You see, today he found out he has lung cancer. Today he found out he does not have his whole life ahead of him. Today he found out that he has less than 6 months to live. I was able to talk him out of the house. He is now resting in a hospital bed. He needs prayer. He was a heavy smoker, like I was. He smoked for 33 years, like I did. He quit about 8 months ago, 4 months before I did. I am going to set up an appointment for a chest xray, I feel vulnerable and wayward. I want a miracle to happen for my best friend, I want him to heal. If you read this and smoke.... Stop. That is all the advise I can give you. There is no magical potions out there, the quit lives inside you, expose this desire to quit and do it now. Kizzer [B]My Milage:[/
