My best friend James Robert, is such a good man. I can honestly say that no one in this town hated that man. Everyone loves James, even me.
I have only known this man for 3 years, but in this short period of time we had a blast. James is the world's best cook, he can make you anything you want and make it delicious.
James has a million of friends, and two great daughters. He did anything and everything you can think of. His favorite was getting drunk and playing poker! He actually is the one who taught me how to play poker, and the first game we played at the bar I won. It rocked!
On Monday 2/16/09 we played our last game of Yuker, and I lost with my friend Hope. It's all good though. The next day James ended up in the hospital, he said he had a really bad headache. So his friends drove him to the hospital and his blood pressure was 240/180. The hospital induced a coma, to make him more comfy.
The same day the life lined him to another hospital in Indianapolis. That's when they found out he had a brain annurism. The next day they ran more tests, they said he has 2 weeks. There is a vessle they cannot operate on, it's inside of his brain. So they are just going to let a ventelator breathe for him.
A few days later we had bad news that his kidneys are failing. His brain is not sending the signal to hold fluid it just goes right through him. The good news is his lungs sound a lot better.
Today 2/26 the hospital is going to take James off the ventilator. Because he cannot breathe on his own he will leave this world. I am very sad about this, but I know he's in heaven smoking blunts with Bob Marley. So make sure you have a drink for my best friend.
Thanks for reading this,
Katie Long
