Tookie
Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
I was in a room visiting a young black man of only thirty-eight years old. He was the patient, and he was dying of brain cancer. He was so young! But we have all kinds of folks come in here. Mostly older people, but younger ones and even children!
On the couch was his mother and a sister. His father was also there, but he had come later. I spoke mostly with him. They were his parents but had never married and never lived together.
His mother was in deep grieving, and was not very talkative. She did tell me that her sons name was Michael, and she started calling him by the nickname "Tookie" when he was a baby. Not long after Tookies father walked in, she left to go to the break room to eat a bowl of gumbo.
His father said that Tookie was big into bodybuilding and wrestling. He told me that Tookie went to the gym a lot and had a very well built body. He also loved to watch wrestling matches on television and went to the live wrestling shows.
It's sad that a young man was dying so early in life. I wish that I was able to speak to Tookie, I'm sure he is an interesting guy. What I do know is that his family loves him!
Do you know of someone who had died young? Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
