We visited him again today in the hospital. He's got a close friend empowered as his Health Care Surrogate, another friend of ours. He's a hero for what he's doing.
He confided to me a little while ago, outside the hospital, that our friend knows he's dying, and doesn't want to do anything more with treatment. His only wish is that he go into a care facility in Wilton Manors, and pass away among his friends.
I said we would make that happen. He'll be given passes outside the facility, and we'll take him wherever he wants, as will his Surrogate. He lives all alone, but he won't die that way.
That's what gay family is all about. I hope everyone here does that. I fear as universal gay recognition is coming, gay support may be flagging. Yet it's still needed in some cases.
