Sorry but caring and crying go together. Thanks for caring and for all you did before and at benefit. Hope all goes well in Shreveport.

Its crazy while i was reading all that, the song i was listening to was saying "how great is our God" (i listen to Christian music to calm down)... its just really hard to think about those words when im thinking about those sweet kids. I guess thats where faith comes in, it is just really hard to understand His selection.
Thanks, i think we will be just fine in shreveport.

Thanks.. Somebody will preserve this thread for Josey's kids to read when they are old enough to understand how many people who did and did not know them truly cared about them.

He told me the worst part of the whole ordeal wasn't the physical pain and mental anguish he endured. It was seeing the looks on those two faces when they were told of the diagnosis and that they would have to do just that in the near future. I will never forget that conversation as long as I live
Glad you got to have this conversation with him, 4LSU2. It speaks volumes to your relationship with Josey.
I think about having to have that conversation with the Little Dongs, should I ever be in that position, and it tugs on my heart.
Hug your little one tight every chance you get.

That was him to the core. Always more concerned about family and friends than himself.
That's a sign of good parenting, JSM.
Rest easy knowing that you raised a good man.

He was impulsive. He had many virtues but patience wasn't one of them.
It's no wonder I was so fond of him even though we never met. We share some of the same attributes.

I apologize for being late to the party. Can you tell me when and what happened to Josey? Are there any links to the older threads about him? Thx.

He was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on his tongue last Spring, treated it with a great prognosis for a full recovery through the summer with radiation and a few chemotherapy treatments. Symptoms returned in the fall and he was diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal cancer on October 16 of last year. He lived 47 more days and went to be with the Lord on December 2, 2013.
There were several threads about his fight including one that went 150 or so pages about a cancer benefit banquet that his friends put together. Numerous members of the Outdoor Board banded together by donating items for this benefit, but also traveled to attend the event. The event was held the week after he passed away and was a huge success in more ways than anyone can describe. The comfort that his family took from the event was something that can't be described in any capacity. Josey's family including his wife, sister, father, and mother all watch the OB daily and continue to keep up with the internet family he had. The last few months continues to touch many OB members as it proved to be a bonding experience that many of us will never forget.

Thanks man. That's just awful. Cancer is a bitch. Last year I coached a kid whose mom had cancer and his dad was no where to be found. I found out she died just 2 weeks ago. He's only 11 and she was only 38.

If your up for the leg work lets do it. Find out what the current living situation is. Money might not be the right answer if the living arrangements are of a type that it wouldn't be used for the kid.
