A Surprise Video Made my Day

My friend I have talked about many times (Dustin's Godfather) has bone cancer. He has been on hospice a few months now. We talk often, mostly Face Time. Yesterday he sent me this short video. I was so surprised. He was out of the bed, dressed and using his walker. Made me so happy to see this improvement. I hope it continues as long as possible. Nothing else they can do medically for him. He is trying to enjoy the time he has left with his family. Photo is mine. A screenshot from his video.

That’s great to see! Maybe he can be like Fredo was: if you remember, Fredo got kicked out of hospice for surviving so long!

Prayers for you and him.

Yes, I know, my parents lost a friend to bone cancer back in the late 1960s.

@CarolDM I am so sorry for him. He's probably come to terms with it by now but it's still sad.

Thanks but he will not improve. The bone cancer is taking over. But he is enjoying the moments he has.

Yes I will. At the end he told her, that's enough. He got so tired. When he waved, it really got to me. But in a good way. Happy to see him up.
