The guy that took me under his arm and trained me at work has been battling cancer for the past year. He used to refer to me as his adopted daughter. He is now paralyzed from the neck down. The doctor gave him one week as of last Monday, which would mean this Monday is his estimated time to go. He was supposed to be ok. We'd done all the fundraising dinner, walk a thons, sympathy cards, flowers, etc...last year. The past few months, we'd been all celebrating that'd he overcame it. But then, suddenly, we found out that it spread. Anyways, he's still totally coherant. He has requested no calls or visitors during his final days. I want to acknowledge that I am thinking of him somehow. I never really got to say goodbye because we thought he'd won the battle. But on the same line, it seems really wrong and awkward to talk to someone about their own death. I'm so confused right now. I don't know what to say or do. I was very close to him, but surely not as close as his wife, brother and sons. So it isn't like I want to intrude. I am sure there are hundreds of people wanting to say goodbye, he is such a wonderful man. What do I say? What do I do? Any scripture or thoughts that come to mind? I'm sorry that this message is so scrambled, I am not going to bother to proof read it. Please give me advice quickly. My mind is to cloudy to think. I feel like I am in a horrible dream.
