    Thank you so much for your thoughtful words.  I just got back from the visit, and it was a very good one.  My friend can’t form words anymore, but I sure was able to make him laugh, just like always.  He has very little movement left, but he is very much still in there, and still the same exact person I have always known, with the same contagious laugh.   I enjoyed being able to feed him, watch tennis and movies together, show him funny youtube videos, and even play a little NY Mets multiple-choice trivia.  We helped his wife with some cleaning, and just spent time with him so she could get out and do a few things she needed to do.  She is doing an amazing job taking care of him.  I will be going back up there a lot this summer.     Thank you so much to everyone who replied to my post.      PS> If anyone is worried about getting a feeding tube, he got one 9 days ago and it isn’t bothering him at all.
