Dang it. This one hits hard this week.
I'm sorry, Haywire. Wishing you the best time with your family. I hope the days are long, the comfort is high, and the memories made are legendary. |

We’re all in the same line; your number is simply up sooner than the rest of us. I read these end of life threads, and the big takeaway— the only takeaway really, is to live. We all major in the minor sometimes and spend too much time online, watching TV or movies, or wasting time with other distractions.
Whether you have a huge family, no family, 500 friends, or only a pet rock— engage. Be child like in your interests; draw, ride a bike, call someone, fly a ****ing kite, train for a 5K or marathon, do 100 push-ups a day, paint your room, build something or tear something down and start over. Stillness is death, and it’s coming sooner than we all think. Cheers to you Mr. Haywire and thank you for showing us courage and dignity, and how to face the ultimate end with a man’s heart. |

Hay, I want to thank you for something really important.
You reminded me (for the millionth time) to slow down and smell the roses. I go so hard with business sometime the blinders go up. Well, yesterday I slowed it down and brought my 11 year old son along to work. We are busy as hell, and my crew can't keep up so I've been dragging knuckles for a while now, and bringing along one of my kids slows me down. He kicked ass. We knocked out a job without any slowdown, and he worked hard. We got to eat lunch lunch together on a big deck facing a large pond (rare in west Kansas). We spend a lot of time together anyway, but this was a little more special. It was special because I didn't take it for granted. Thanks for giving this to me. |

Be nice to one another and this isn't such place. Another good thing to do Is what I do with mine. We buy a couple of doughnuts from time to time and give them away to local PD, FD first responders, etc. We never give our names, just a handshake and a thanks for their service. |

Godspeed HayWire. The courage that you have shown in the face of this wretched disease has been admirable. You will not be forgotten, sir.
