Friends

I have a very special friend.  He was my boss for six years and although I love my job now, I sure did enjoy working for him.  I have stayed in touch with him since his retirement and he has had a rough time of it with some serious health issues.  Talking to him became difficult, as he just did not have the energy or the desire to be on the phone.  He didn't want me to call, he didn't want me to visit and I was afraid he was just giving up.  Things were not sounding very promising until last week.  Last week I got a phone call from him (which was rare, even when he was not sick) and he sounded great, said he was pain-free and felt better than he had in a long time.  Apparently the doctors made some adjustments to his treatment and medications and it was a change for the better.  He is able to drive on his own and wants to come to Plano to have lunch and visit with his buddies in our old department.  I sure hope he looks as good as he sounds.  I have a feeling I'll be happy to see him no matter what!
