morning guys. rough long night. I need some sleep. my friend that was waiting on a liver and kidney transplant passed away last night. her years of suffering are over as are those of her family. they took her off life support around 10pm, she lasted about two hours. got home around 4:30 this morning. heading out to have breakfast with my daughter. sorry for the downer greeting but everything is really for the best.
