Alright I'm back again for an update. It has been a long last few weeks, and have not been on the water.
I stopped by a buddy's house a few weeks ago to see how he was doing. He had cancer and had his stomach removed several months ago, and I hadn't heard from him so I figured I'd go see him. He lives in the country 35-40 minutes from me and when I arrived his partner and sister were there, and met me outside. They told me he lost kidney function and that he had to do dialysis. He had a dialysis appointment that day due to his kidneys shutting down and the shuttle couldn't find his farm and his sister nor his partner could get him down the 2 flights of stairs at his home on his farm. If he didn't make it to dialysis then he would die within a day or so. They were devastated, so I volunteered to take and bring him home from dialysis.

This lasted for 3 weeks, 3 days a week. Fisbee Dan lost his battle with cancer last Monday night. I didn't know Dan well, but the last 3 weeks Sarah and I spent with him we learned a lot. He was solely responsible for many disc golf courses along the eastern United States, and held world records in several disc sports.

Sorry for your loss Jeremy. Glad you were there to offer the support you could. Life is short and uncertain, get on the water and count your blessings.

Jeremy, after reading your post, I can somewhat relate to the subject matter but more so on You and Sarah's gift to always help when you can. Since I have known you, No matter Who, How, or When, if a person may need a little assistance in a trivial project or a person in dire need your always there to help.

I appreciate the post to remind us you never know what may be going on down the road with a friend or just one of our fellow man. God Bless .. <'TK><:)
