A few things have come to light. Let me try and remember them all so I can blog them here. I just had a brain fart, so er…

1. We found George!!! Richard, our old neighbor who lives two houses from George, saw his brother-in-law enter the home and he tackled him for information. Turns out George was moved to another hospital because he needed to have brain surgery due to liquid in his brain. I called and talked with him yesterday, and he was very confused. He said he was in Arizona (which he’s not, but he and Marian used to go sometimes when she was still alive), and that he just called me to say he loves me (I called him heh). He was happy to hear from me, and asked how school was going (I’ve been out of school for three years now). My dad told me that when he talked to him, George told him that Marian died just last week (Marian has been gone for several years now). It’s pretty common for patients to be confused after brain surgery. After all, it *is* brain surgery. O.o Still, though, it was so scary for me and just hearing his voice set me into tears because I was preparing myself to hear the worst news — that he passed. Hearing his voice was just so overwhelming for me. And hearing him so confused, gasping for words and gasping for air while he spoke with me. He’s not the same George I met so long ago, but he still is my George.

2. I forgot the other stuff I wanted to say. I’ll blog more later. George got me all teary-eyed again.
