Visit with J.

 Bern and I went to visit our friend J. in the care home where he is.

He's been my friend since college and Bern loves him too.

She goes to see him more than I do--I can't stand to see him bedridden and in pain.

He seemed better than he did to our friends who visited him yesterday. They said he wasn't coherent and talkative. But he talked a lot with us and made good sense.

It's still awful to see him like that.

I'll take him communion next week and anoint him for healing.

I pray he can get better.
