From talking with you in the chat room, I was always impressed with the way you made it clear that you did what you could for Jim because he was your friend. Not because you owed him (though you were grateful for the help he had given you), or because he was kin (no relation), or because it was in any way beneficial to you (you were obviously overwhelmed at times), but just because he was your friend. The Bible talks about 'laying down one's life for a friend'. I do not believe one must die for a friend in order to lay down one's life. I believe that to LIVE for a friend's benefit is more accurately what the Scripture referred to.
I hope you take pride in what you have done for Jim. And I hope you take comfort in the knowledge that you made his life richer and fuller than it could have ever been without you in it. And I hope you know that the world is a better place for people like yourself who are willing to do what you have done, rare though they be.
I am blessed in 'knowing' you, mw.

He was my best friend and he had no family after his brother was found dead from a boat accident. He had always been there for me when I needed him. Like the time I need a place to live and didnt have enough money for the deposit or to get the lights turned on. Yeah he was the man! Or when I needed 3 grand to buy that really cool buick hearse I couldnt live without. A very quiet guy never really that outspoken but piss him off and by god you knew where you stood. Problem was he never could say no to people and they took advantage of him. Tenants would move into one of his rentals and he would give them a break and not worry too much about them if they got a month or five behind in rent or needed to borrow money for a lawyer or bail.
