I talked to MJ on the phone today. He was able to call me and he wanted to say his goodbye's.

It's extremely difficult to understand him and I could sense his frustration, but we did manage. He thanked me for being a friend to him. I told him "I love you brother and I hope when the time comes, you cross over peacefully".
Emotions running high, that was a tough conversation. I would love to see him, but I cannot make the drive due to the distance because I'm recovering from yet another spinal fusion surgery.
Amanda said he was angry today because his twin grandkids birthdays were today and there was a positive Covid alert in the nursing home where he's staying.
Keep him in your prayers fellas.
