One of my best friends went thru a rough patch this past July and I had previously asked my friends to keep him in mind (and you did). Thank you very much for your support at that time.
He called me a few nights ago, telling me he’s had a relapse and asked for my support. He doesn’t like FB and he’s never even had an FB account and I know only a few of you know who he is and/or have met him, but he is just an awesome guy and wonderful friend, and has always been there for me. He’s been my best friend for going on 25 yrs now.
Please keep “JR” (his nickname) in your thoughts as he goes thru this process of getting rid of his “illness”.
I told him I loved him, as we spoke Wednesday night. I love you, Rick – your friendship has been very important to me these last 25 yrs and I am glad we are still as close now as when we started out (when I thought you had eyes for the same girl I had my eyes on – whom I eventually married!). You are ALWAYS in my thoughts. You will get thru this, because you are surrounded by love, love from your partner John, love from your close friends, and love from your family, and John’s family. We believe in you, love you, and support you, and will be there for you during all of your ‘trials and tribulations’.
If you guys can keep him in your thoughts for the next few weeks, I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you.
