John's birthday

I've known him since 1972.

He's a West Virginian, like me.

We've been through a lot together.

Several months ago he fell down the stairs from his apartment and has been recovering ever since.

We're going to his birthday party tonight. There will be lots of mutual friends there.

We gave him a wide wheel chair as his gift. I don't know how long he will continue to need it. Not long, I pray.

I haven't visited him as much as Bern has since the accident.

I just can't stand to see him like that.

I love him too much.

Alas.
