He'd been hospitalized previously with Congestive Heart Failure in late March and (unless I missed it) did not mention having friends/family with him then.

I hope that I am wrong, and I truly hope we will hear from him. I'd give just about anything to see a post.

He spent Easter with them. I think his other brothers still live in Kentucky.

I think about William769 throughout the days since he posted that last message. I know fully how serious his condition was, but I still am hopeful.

He did tell me his brothers are Trumpers so I am not sure he would ask them to contact us here.

and able to post again.

Even though this is a mostly anonymous forum, we do get to know each other. William769 is among our "long-termer" group for many of us who have become quite "close." That makes it especially hard to be left "wondering" and wishing. sigh...

To William:

Last time I heard from him was about two weeks ago. He was going to the doctor to have some water drained from his leg.

I'm extremely worried about him.
