PLEASE SAY A PRAYER

About a month ago, I got a letter from my friend Casey, who has been battling non-hodgins lymphoma for the last three years or so. Yesterday, I got a message from another one of my old friends back in Anderson. Apparently, Casey has taken a turn for the worse, and the outlook isn't good.

I've been given the advice not to get too close to the race drivers I work with, because if something happens to a friend, it will be harder to deal with. I usually just brush that off, but I think I know what they mean now.

Sometimes life isn't fair. Casey deserves to be healthy. I can't think of one person who has ever met her, who doesn't like her.

I never did get around to returning that note to her, and now I feel guilty.
I just hope my call will get there in time for me to tell Casey how much I valued her friendship the last few years.
