    Please tell southernpride he's in our thoughts and prayers. I miss "seeing" him on here, and hope that they can get this surgery done and have him back on the road to recovery next week. He must be thoroughly frustrated!

    Thanks so much, dino, for keeping us posted.

    Jolsen, I'm not trying to be rude....southern prides days of driveing are over, As much as it hurts me to say this.....He has helped me in so many ways, I can not begin to exsplain....He is a great mentor and teacher..According to Mrs. pride he is liveing his life thru my eyes. It is my honor, he thinks this way of me. I'm just a dumb redneck trying to keep the bills paid..Remember driveing is the easy part....There aint nothing i cant drive. the buisness end is a whole differnt animall when you own your own...I just hope i live up to his exspectations.....an not screw up to much......When i first went by the his house with this old pete, you would have thought he bought it....his eyes we wide open an he was waiting for me out in the driveway with the coffey on.....thru this exspirence he has become a dear friend...an in my book friends look out for one another....the key word here is friend.....a good one is far an few between..... Thanks ....The dino

    Thank you Dino for all you do for SP and for those on TTR that want to know how he is doing. And sending our prayers and wishes to you SP and Mrs SP-God's speed to you both for a fast recovery.

    You are the TRUE meaning of what a friend is: You and SP are both better for knowing each other.:biggrin_25514:

    Dino, your words were great and moving. I bet SP is proud to have mentored a great person and now friend like you. To see a teacher gleam as his student is progressing is an accomplishment. Thank you, thank you on keeping us posted. I'm sure SP (once he is ready to go) would even enjoy a short road trip with ya.

    Now ,as for Souther pride, once again his wife texted me...things are getting worse, I'm sorry to say..they have put a diaper on him, he is to weak to get up,...I'm getting worried,all this is not good. I wish they would just take the foot off, due to it is the main cause of his ill ness..the gang green is poisoning his system.....Everyone, please pray as hard as you can for our friend...lets hope the good lord see's fit to give him the strenght to go thru one more surgury to better his health.....Amen:biggrin_25514:
