Neverending MBRO memory thread

Second, this gator got whooped by a Vol! Sign of things to come!

Best part though, my buddies little boy wanted a pic also. We had one flashlight, and my buddy had a small head lamp. When he got it back from his son it started rolling, and he dropped it. His little boy dropped the light, and my buddy looked at me and said "he's coming at you snapping". We were all 3 running around in the dark trying to stay away and find it

First, this was caught on pure accident, and released unharmed. I did get a picture because it's the only one I've ever caught.

That is perfect. Its a sign!!!!

Somehow, a thread titularly dedicated to Larry’s memory has become Joe’s stream of consciousness thread. This post is a break from that.

About the same time that MBRO was diagnosed with glioblastoma, my cousin was as well. The disease is inevitably fatal. It took Larry, but my cousin is still battling.

Cuz has no sign of tumors. Her latest MRI is clean. Still, the toll of surgeries and treatments impacts her. Her mind is strong, but her body is weak. She speaks in a whisper, loses her balance, and needs help navigating stairs. Her husband installed a lift for her at their home.

Covid-19 complicates matters, and denies us the opportunity to visit in person and physically give her husband a hand. A family friend who tested negative while in isolation moved in to help for awhile. She sacrifices contact with her kin and other friends to do this for my cousin and her husband. That quality of character makes me tear up.

Meanwhile, we, our cousin’s blood have FaceTime. If covid-19 wasn’t here, we’d be traveling to her town, visiting and lending a hand as we have before...

I gotta stop posting for a bit.

All my love and prayers for your cousins strength and healing.

I know, bad timing for me to not completely post all of that!

I can't wait to see the springs!

Went to my buddy's uncle's farm and picked fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, and peppers to take home!

 

[joevol33]

It's bed time, gotta head home tomorrow

I love these dirt roads down here. It's fields on both sides, and the trees make it like a tunnel
