Saw the news today ... oh boy

Spent part of the afternoon with Fritz
In Lansing for weekend, and got this just before coming downstate

"At Fritz' doctor appointment yesterday, he was told there is nothing more they can do and there is no need for him to return to the doctor. Fritz and Tina are working with Hospice (for approx. 1-1/2 weeks) and they have distributed morphine. Fritz is loosing significant control of his left side and is struggling with his fear and feelings at this time."


In short - DAMNIT
Good "kid" (Ok so he's 41 or so, I've know hinm since he was about 5)
Sometimes "the son I never had" but only sometimes

All I can say is the he knows (approximate) time, most of the rest of us don't

Cool thing : family polished up one of the racers, and it sits in the living room (my girls might recall that I did same with one back in the early 70's)

Waves of remorse
Sadness

Life goes on
