I knew farmer Dean from Free republic and we talked on the phone for a few years.

your relationship sounds much much deeper and again I am sorry.

All of the good times you had with him still matter.

And if I was in a hospital God forbid very sick and I couldn’t see my friends I would already know how they felt about me and it would bring me peace.

You sound like a stand-up guy. I will pray for you and your friend

Thanks. I know many people on FR, and I have been fortunate to meet dozens of them in person over the years...and I have never been disappointed.

Maybe our paths with cross someday, dp0622...

Until then, I am grateful for your words of condolence. It DOES mean something from a Freeper, something I am sure Farmer Dean understood well.

When this began we were hyper vigilant at work and when back at home. It was mentally exhausting. The literature has seen the same issue in healthcare and with HIV as prevention fatigue.
