Prayers needed
 

I have a dear friend that has been battling cancer for about 3 years. He has gotten to the point he can't eat anything and they have called hospice. He is very reserved and would be upset with me if he knew I was posting this. I want to go see him but am afraid I would break down.

Please pray for him and his family.

Go see him. Prayers said for your buddy.

Man go see him and just express to him how much he means to you and have a good talk. Death is a natural part of life but extremely difficult to accept. Prayers fer ya buddy bro.

Prayers for him and his family!

Jude, I'm saying a special prayer to give you the strength to go see your dear friend. It's for both of you. It will help with the healing process.

x2!! Well said mr. Paul i witnessed the same thing with my grandpa, and trust me visiting wih him will mean alot to the both of you.

I don't think he wants anyone to see him like this.

Absolutely, Jude...Jason is right. Choosing to not see him is a decision you might not ever get over. Hey man...it's perfectly fine to cry. Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Agreed. Go see him! Bring up some good times. You don't want to be kicking your self later for not doing it. Prayers sent.

While trying to build up the courage to go see my paw-paw(liquid courage), he passed away. I missed that oppurtunity by maybe an hour and, I've never forgotten that I didn't get to see him one more time to tell him how I felt. Make the trip.

Prayers for you and his family during this time.

He may not want you too see him and you may not want to but to me its the best thing between a friendship....You may regret not going to see him....Prayers sent brutha...

A bunch of my dads friends told me at his funeral that they wish they would have gone to see him in his final days.............I would go.

However on the other hand, the last time I seen my Uncle on my moms side we were having boiled seafood at my moms house. He told me that he knew he was about to go and looked me straight in the eye and said I know I don't have much time to live, and this is my good bye. So seeing him moving around and having a decent day was my last living memory of him.


If nothing else you should call your friend and tell him you remember the good times and the bad times and you appreciate him. If he tells you that he would like to see you then go over, but at least talk to him.

Spoke with a mutual aquaintance, He has called several times and he keeps telling him "he doesn't feel up to company"

Just GO!

You might can change that by going to see him, Jude.

Prayers sent for you and your friend Jude. May peace be with him. Prayer sent that God may give you courage to go see him. Sounds like deep down you know what you need to do!

Prayers sent man. Surprise him.

I encountered the same situation a few years ago. I didn't want to go see him and he didn't want anyone to see him so......I broke out the ole' pen and paper and said my goodbyes on it and all our good times etc.....put it in a card and went and placed it in his mailbox.

I did receive a call and was invited over to BS and we never had to touch "the subject" during our conversation because he knew how I felt.

But he did give me a letter as I walked out of his house. I still have that letter in my dresser drawer with his obit. Every so often I pull it out and read it. We never had to say it but knew where each other stood.

Whatever you decide, Godspeed to you and your friend....
