This Fragile Life - Tribute To Bob

Fragile Life Tonight I learned, quite by accident that my dear friend lays dying of the virus. I called him this weekend, in all this craziness to check on him....call it a gut hunch his phone just went to message. He gasped his greeting, what would take normally a minute took 5, he said he was not in much pain, but air was so dear. Of course I cannot see him, his family is not near, with the Covid he cant have visitors, my God - he must have so much fear. My tears they run, my heart it breaks My dear friend Bob at 85 is so great. Hat's off to you sir....my friend of many years You have been a coach, a mentor, a teacher, a father. Life is so damn fragile.
