My closest and dearest friend for a few decades had a severe stroke. I noticed something a little off on Monday but did nothing. On Tuesday, he was close to incoherent and I drove him to the emergency room. Last night I was told that, if he survives, it will be many months of rehabilitation just to re-learn how to talk and move. I need your prayers, if you are so inclined, both for him, of course, and for me. Thank you. I hope my state of mind last night was not offensive to anyone.

Will keep you and your friend in our prayers. Life is short we have to cherish each and every minute of every day. Hang in there the Lord will provide.

Psalms 55:22
Isaiah 44:10
DO NOT add the burden of guilt relative to Monday. People have "off" days. You could not know what his "little off" portended.
Know many here will be with you through prayers and thoughts.

Of course he as well as you have my prayers. I am sorry for your friend's condition I pray he makes a quick recovery. If you need someone to listen to you or talk, drop me a PM and I will give you my phone number.
May God be with you.

I have never perceived anything you ever posted to be offensive.
As to your friend: Be as good a friend as you've ever been to him, now, when he needs it most. He can surmise how much he means to you by your every care and concern for him. Comfort him with your words, and with an optimistic outlook in all things. Be open, honest and dwell on things positive and meaningful to him. Do your best in not letting him see you down.
You are a good man, doing your best will be obvious to him. Trust your instincts, and he will see the friend he knows you are. He will be content with that.

I would hope he recovers to at least a semblance of his old self. Strokes are very devastating.

His friend passed away shortly after the stroke. Rumitoid had the honor and difficulty of having to speak at the two services held. It has been a difficult few weeks for rumitoid. He continues to grieve greatly as they were friends of long standing.

Although he and his friend are physically separated, his friend continues to be with us. It is through their friendship, his friend's influence in his life and rumitoid's interaction with other people his friend continues to have an influence in our world. Your wife's influence on you, during her time with you, influences each of us through you. Esoteric, I know.
