I would like to
reunions dinner's at his house..
games..baseball..basketball w/ TONY
We always did things in a very
high class way..loved 2 show his playa
hats & manly character...It's so sad..
that I had 2 hear about the sudden
attack placed upon his sight
about 4 months ago..as I was
preparing to say goodbye to the love
of my life..I received an email
from Donald..asking me about
my mom..everything seemed 2 be
ok..until..he shared the news
w/ me about his sight..I said..is it ..
CATARACT or GLAUCOMA..
he responded..GLAUCOMA
we continued on speaking on the matter
which was similar to my mother
he started asking me ..
what did I witness through her
downfall..I replied..she had an
operation in 1 eye...never had the chance
to get the other eye done..
her sight started fading
I was so devastated..everything
he said..is exactly what was happening
the days that drew closer to her demise ..
he started keeping in contact
with me on facebook
as the days went on..he got worse
the doctor finally broke the news to him
he will b losing his sight
permanently..it's just one more
disease..taking all our black people
over by storm..
diabetes..cancer...heart failure
stroke...thank God ..he had something
for me to do..I banged on the floor
grabbed my head..said outta
my mouth with
a loud sound ..get thee behind me Satan
all of a sudden..a voice..just as plain
as day..said ..take an aspirin..
i asked my grand daughter
to quickly go get me an aspirin in
the medicine cabinet as soon
as I took that
pill..I can tell the difference in my brain
the doctor was angry that I took a
chance walking up to Rockaway
one long block from where I live
they check my vital signs..pressure
what outta control..
had to rush me
right then and there in a ambulance
right away..they told me ..if I had waited
another hour or more..I would have
went in2 a coma..it is very important
to follow up on your health
it might sound so bad even put fear
in the mind..not 2 convince u to
have it checked out..but GO!!!
DO THE RIGHT THANG..
it will pay off in the long run..
MY buddy can't turn back the hands of
time or trade in his vision & reverse
the problem..which is too far gone..
This man became a Pastor..a
man of the cloth..w/a church.a new
wife & a wonder life..
they came crashing down all around
his world..a son..the gift of life sending
a message from
GOD..every Sunday morning..
praying for others in fellowship
supporting his members
in SOUTH CAROLINA..
where there was a knock on heaven's
door he be the answers reading
scriptures preaching the Gospel..now
he's being taking care of ..
by his wife they lost their home..
he now lives in Connecticut..
he owes bills,,
and get this..they turned him down
for social security disability ..
talking about economics going bad..
I feel for him with all my heart..
it's gonna take the political access
negotiate the necessities
in life which brings 2 this travesty I ASK
for those who have had this experience
to please ..work with ur nearest legislators
or govt official to make DEMANDS
ON HEALTH CARE..
it is a VERY life threatening situation...
WE NEED ASSISTANCE in the worse
way possible..God Bless YOU..Donald..
LOVE you MAN!!!
Thanks for LISTENING..Create

Sherry was 1st wife? I believe that was Duke's daughter. Don't know any marriage to Sherry, rest her soul. He did perform her funeral service. Some facts are screwy here. SSI denies a blind person? Economy not that bad yet. I'm sure that day will come maybe in 10 or 15 yrs. They can't turn down a blind person.
Ok, Cherie [not 'Sherry'] was 1st wife. Just a mispelling. I am personally going to research your SSIcase. They do tend to deny 1st apps. You have to try more than once with your doctor's info. Don't give up too easily. I'm sure God admires diligence.
