Came across this quote on an older Fresh TRacks episode I watched on Randy's YouTube channel.
"I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life; I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well."
Teddy Roosevelt
Sounds like your friend fits the quote, and for that I pray for him and envy his life truely lived.
Sorry to hear, Randy. Sounds like I, along with many others, am in this man's debt. It's a good reminder to be thankful for what we have been given through the efforts of people we don't know.
Hoping for the best outcome, whatever that might be.
"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isa. 41:10
Alex, you're in my prayers that God will hold you close!
