my friend, Sekou Tarare
My friend is from west Africa. He is a black man, really black. A few of you have seen/met him. He is "John", my taxi driver. He has been my pal for over a year when I needed a ride. He has come to get me any day, any time, any where. Early on, he gave me his home and cell #. We "work" off the meter, just cash. As I am moving next week, yesterday was our last day "together". I gave him some appliances I no longer needed...he said he would give them to others he knew.
As we departed, we shook hands and then he hugged me. His last words to me were "please keep in touch" in his heavy accent. I will.
My buddy in Wilmington showed me his gift to make friends in non-traditional ways. John is my friend...one of my best. One of my others is John aka Yukon John. So, do you have a friend you met in an unusual way?

My MIL had that and the kidney was removed. She did well and lived long enough afterwards to make me love her all over again. That was three or four years. She passed, not from the cancer, from being 83 yo and simply wearing out.
I miss her. She did well!

A friend is worth more than money. You will live forever in the minds of friends. In order to have a friend like that you must be a friend like that.

Here's wishing you the best. You sound like you are getting over the hump and moving on. Cheers, great luck, and success. Think these things everyday: Health, success, happiness, and wealth. Wealth is not just money. Your friend. BARRY.
