\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Noland, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got question for you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yeah, well, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do my best. Where are you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m over at the golf pro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s condo. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m working on his bathroom and his fire alarm is beeping. He tells me It has been for ten days, and he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know why. Can you believe that? Anyway, I want to change the battery, but the alarm is hard wired. If I disconnect it, will it alert the fire station?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know why it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard wired but we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve changed our battery without fire trucks showing up at the door.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think it was, but I wanted to be sure.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What are you going to do when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m gone?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Gone? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not going anywhere.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not huh? Well, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not the way things work. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m getting to the end of this trip. Let me tell you something else. I talked to an old friend of mine in California. He had one of those mini-strokes. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s three years younger than me. He says he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tired all the time. I told him that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the way it is with these things. It takes time to get better, but he can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see it. I sat down and wrote him a four page letter. I gave him my thoughts… \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I hope you made a copy of that letter for me. I know how hard it is for you to write these days. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to have a copy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Aaa, well, I put it in the mail yesterday.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What did it say.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I told him about the good lord\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s plan for us and what happens afterward. Where we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going. As I said it was four pages long.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Sounds like you think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more that just the stroke that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bothering him. He must be afraid of dying, no?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Death happens to all of us. You know what my father used to say? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not afraid to be born, why should you be afraid to die?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
