We all love you and will miss you.

His son is going to register for the board soon if not already.  They were discussing Scout26jr for a handle. I'm sure the mods will make sure he gets the proper welcome and access.

Just, thank you.  For everything, and anything forgotten, thank you Scout.

Damn, I'm really sorry to hear this.  I hope you find peace and comfort in hospice care.  Like others, I'm hoping for a miracle.

I will continue to pray for you, I just don't know what else to say but, thanks, I'm glad to have gotten to know you.

Well, *expletive deleted*it.  :'(

The miracle already happened; the past 10 years have been a miracle, and it's allowed David to guide Robert into the fine young man he is instead of whatever his ex would have turned him into.  Scout, if you're reading this, you should be proud of what you've accomplished.  I hope your last days are comfortable and peaceful, and I'm proud to have known you.  (I'm crying now, dammit)

Talked to David just now.  He had a few moments of coherence but but mostly he was pretty out of it.  He said to give his love to you all.  Keep praying for him.

Damn. I just texted him but didn’t call because I figured they were keeping him pretty doped up. *expletive deleted*it, just a few days ago we were hoping he was going to be out of the hospital in a couple weeks. He’s a hell of a good man who got dealt a crap hand especially lately

Gonna miss you Scout

Gave him a buzz just now.  Yeah, not really coherent, pretty much out of it.

Been away for awhile as well but was keeping up on Facebook.

He is one of the good ones.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Peace Brother Dave.
Hospice is a wonderful program when other options are limited.
What we have here is failure to communicate.

I asked Robert if his dad was up for a phone call.

At this point, he is likely getting regular doses of liquid morphine via dropper into his mouth to keep him comfortable.  He may not be conscious enough to interact with anyone.
