Gay, Debbie (HavinFun) & I went to see Denny today and tell him goodbye for now. Found him sleeping but woke him up. Told him how happy we were that he was going to be with family. He commented on how much weight he has been losing and I told him soon he could hopefully have the test done to see if he could swallow and eat real food. The first words out of his mouth with a big grin was, "Pizza". We then went on to discuss cheesesteaks, tasty cakes, and all the good Italian food his family cooks. He said he was going to get fat!
Gay told him that I have been his angel. I said, "Denny did you ever think anyone would call me an angel"? He said, "Devil maybe". LOL
We told him everyone on the message board sent love, hugs and best wishes. I told him I am going to SP on Wednesday and he told me he would call me there! Told him I wouldn't have a phone but would call him when I got back.
His roommate asked how old he was and we said 60 to which he said 50! I told him to stop lying and he said 1947 to which I said that means 60! He told us his bd is March 11th so I told him he would soon be 61. He laughed.
While it has been very difficult to see him in this condition, I will miss my visits but know he is going to be in a much better place. He did say he would email. We told him we are ready for him to add to his blog.
Thanks again to all that have kept him in their prayers.
