I have had a very upsetting weekend. Friday i wanted to go to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few things for projects i wanted to start. My good friend Billy Lewis and i have worked on several projects in the past , so i decided to give him a call to see if he wanted to go shopping with me. I dialed his number to give him a heads up i was coming over. The phone rang and an automated voice picked up an said this number has been disconnected. SLAM! I knew right away something was wrong cause Billy has never NOT had a phone. I got in my car an drove over only to see the house shut up an no one home. As i truned out of the drive way i noticed his neighbor waiting at he mailbox. I rolled down the window and asked if she knew where Billy was. Next thing i know i an crying out at the top of my lungs in disbelief. She told me Billy has cancer an only has a few month to live. I found out where he was and flew there to see my life long friend. I tried to control my grief before i got there so i wouldnt upset him. I found my best friend eating breakfast for the first time since he had taken ill. He was smiling and telling me how much better he was feeling since kemo treatment had stopped. He got so weak that they had to stop treatment. I looked at him and heard his voice but didnt recognize the shadow of a skeleton in front of me. I cried out loud and he comforted me! How selfish of me to make him feel bad because im upset. Hes the one with cancer, im the one with my heart on my sleeve. Please pray for my friend BILLY LEWIS. Ive known him since middle school, 47 yrs. we have kept in touch on an off since high school. I had seen him last only a few month ago in the spring. This came on so quick , its unreal how fast this desease ravished his body. Love your family call them, go see them. Dont expect things to be ok unless you have checked recently an know for sure things r ok. Last spring he seemed to be himself, 5 months later and he has 3 months left. What a talented person this world will lose. Gifted in the arts beyond average. Always smiling. I am still in shock an probably will be for a long time. Thanks for listening to me ramble on, i love my FB family and i hope that you will keep in touch. Some days FB is what gets me thru depression. I love you all.
