Hit play on this drop dead gorgeous sound that De-Phazz lays down.
I have finally got good news about my friend John.
Right now he's under the knife. His doctors found a donor organ and he is getting fixed up as I am typing this. I'm elated, anxious, and scared. Just like all of the people who know and love John.
(time passes)
I'm staring at the blinking cursor, the one that begs my to type something.
I started out with something clever to say, and in a moment, it was gone. My voice has vanished.
I was thinking of 'love'. Do I really 'love' John? Mind you, he's an office co-worker. I never went to a hockey game with him but I have played golf with him and ate lunch with him on numerous occasions. He was talking with me at the time Michael gave us the news about Sept. 11th. On his advice I bought the house I live in right now. If you crunch the numbers I would be willing to bet I spent more time with John than I spent with my wife, that is on average given a 40 hour work week.
So what is the love I have for this man? Where is that connection?
I guess in the simplest terms, there would be a 'John' shaped hole in my heart if he was gone. The thought of losing one of the best shoulders to cry on pains me to no end. Supports would give way and part of the small universe I created around me would crumble.
I don't love John like a father, and he's to damn old to be my brother.
He is a dear friend. That should be enough. I love him because I'd have a difficult time with life if he weren't here. Selfish much? Hell yeah! I think that my prerogative.
John is a rock and he is an anchor for me.
Like I said. John, I love you. Now show us what kind of tough-ass bastard you really are.

Good luck to your friend, what's the organ in question if you don't mind me asking?
That would be a liver. He has a genetic disease.
This is your friend with the tiny liver, ok I read that post. Wow, good for him. Kind of sucks how one has to get an organ like that. He still has a long way to go but hopefully it will be a success.
Here's a prayer for your pal, Chris. Sounds like he has a good chance now to cheat fate. May you two share many more moons of watre-cooler memories!
How 'bout that, Dave turned green right in front of our eyes!!
Update:
John's off the ventilator and he's responsive to most questions. They will be moving him out of ICU tomorrow. His kindneys are working and the staff says his numbers are right on if not better than expected.
Good News!!
Glad to hear he is doing good.
Although I don't love my co-workers, there are a few here that would certainly leave a hole in my heart. I know exactly what you mean.
Well said my friend.
Organ transplants are tough. My best friend in highschool, his dad had to have a liver transplant. Many days in the hospital.
Nice track btw.
