Description
Please take the time and read ...Most Important..
This will certainly be a time where I'm torn between what I should say verses what needs to be said...
To all that has followed along with this series I created called Driver and to those that have become loyal and have taken the time to have commented or have followed the story created by me and George(aka) Coolcatcom...This is something I have struggled with for the past 3 weeks and I am divided on what a definition of being someones friend and doing the right thing in a case such as this.When I posted last Friday's final episode I knew some of you would comment with such questions as ...Huh?...why the abrupt end....and it has taken me until now to go against a promise I made to a real true friend here that I have and some of you here have come to know as Coolcatcam(aka George)...Through tears as I type this I really believe in my heart that those of you that know George long before I came into the picture and became true friends with him that I really believe you folks need to know.....
Roughly 3 weeks ago George had informed me through a personal email that he had suffered a small stroke and he had used every ounce of his strength he had and the ability to to write/type to inform me of this.He had asked me to promise him to not say anything and I promised I wouldn't but that was about 3 weeks ago and since then I have sent a couple of personal emails to him asking how he's is doing and please just write something to me when you can to let me know what is going on and until then I will stay quiet and as of today I haven't gotten a reply back one way or the other and now I'm really concerned and worried that something more has happened as to why he has not contacted me yet.I've struggled the past 3 weeks with not saying anything and have stood behind my promise I have made George but I can no longer take the stress of not knowing and I really believe in my heart that you folks that know him (more than I do)deserve to be informed.I have never broken a promise I've ever made in my life to anyone and by doing this without Georges consent I risk losing him as a real true friend but it's a risk that has to be taken under the circumstances...
To George....
If by any chance you are able to read this that I just wanted to say I'm really truly sorry that I had to break my promise but this is just too much for one person as myself to bare and that if you can find it in your heart to forgive me for breaking the promise that I really care about you and really hope you can see that my heart was leading the way here...no more ....no less....
This was suppose to simply be an Epilog of the series we collaborated on together but as of now I'm worried and said what I felt in my heart needed to be said...I really truly hope you are getting better and this was only an attempt to show you that I really do care and am concerned and wish you the best and a speedy recovery.You are my friend...one that I care deeply about...
-=Will=-
***Please Note***
I'm torn between TURNING OFF THE COMMENTS or leaving them on as I'm not out to use this as a ploy to draw in views/rankings or favorites.
But if George is able to ever view this I'm thinking he would love to see your thoughts and prayers and good wishes....It's up to you....your decision...
Once again THANK YOU for your patronage and support..It meant the world to me and George!
I haven't commented on the galleries the past few days and cannot as of yet simply because at this time my emotions are too high and can't honestly give you folks a fair judgement of your art work...please give me the time I need to get back on track...thank you...

Anything could have happened and by your heartfelt outpourings we can see that you have been affected on a very personal and emotional level!! sometimes we do things on sheer instinct. I'm sure george would probaly do the same if circumstances were reversed. We can feel it for you my friend just hope everything is ok . Maybe someone reading this living close by, or having access to info of someway to get in touch!! At this point we just have to wait and see! Take care now let us know how it goes!!

Thank you for sharing this Will. You did the right thing in bringing it forward. The population here at Renderosity is one of the most caring and supportive group of folks I have had the pleasure of becoming a part of. Your reasons for disclosing that George is having a tough time were done with the right motive. It is not idle gossip or just attention seeking, it is out of genuine concern and care. My thoughts are with both of you. I hope George recovers as much function as possible. It is possible he is at a rehab facility to work on recovering mobility so is not intouch with you since he has no online access. Please keep us informed if you learn anything else and if you end up getting intouch, please let him know that so many of us are praying and offering best wishes for him.

The decision was certainly difficult - and in my opinion - right! I myself am in a similar situation - I can understand you well. George also sure. If he is a friend, he will respect and appreciate your concern - it should strengthen your bond of friendship! My wishes also go to your friend - even if I did not personally know. But I've learned that friends are the greatest asset in life - and to lose one always brings sorrow with it. I wish you and your friend that everything turns out well and you can laugh about it someday!

Shining work.

Ohhhh....Will, thank you for sharing this with us. I'm sure George will understand your concern and caring. I really hope he is well and I will be with him in my thoughts and prayers,please keep us informed! You did the right thing!
tennesseecowgirl
Oh no, I had wondered where he was too, and I believe you made the right decision you are worried and concerned about your friend, and I am too now. I wonder if somehow the administrators here can perhaps through his email or home address contact him. I also believe you did right in leaving comments open but ratings off, I would have done the same. George I hope you are recovering and well, as you can see we are all here thinking of you and supporting you. Thank you Will, for posting this, and please take care yourself. hugss
flavia49

magnus073
So sorry to hear about George and even though I only just met him he is going to be in my prayers.
redflame
will say prayers for you to get well. please lets know how you are doing. i know what you are going through as a few years ago i had a stroke also. PLEASE do as your doctor asks you to do as that is the fastest way back. also push a little harder a little bit at a time. i am glad you shared this with us and i believe george will for give you as you did wait a while before telling us.
npauling
A beautiful collage of all your great pictures and that is very sad news about George. It is always hard to make the right decision at times and I am sure that George will forgive you for telling us when you are so worried about him. I'm sure he will contact you when he is able but sometimes it takes weeks and weeks to get better after a stroke.
jocko500
coolcatcom and me goes a long way back. i do not know him but from here. so sorry to here this news. but you did right. now we know how to pray for him. the bible say true friend is like iron sharpen iron. so sometimes sparks will fly and it good at times. true friends will see it as a sign there something wrong with themselves and will try to get a better view on life. The other that say they friends and walk away from you is not your friend. hope this make cent to you
peedy
Oh goodness. I was afraid something like this happened. I was/am missing him. I really hope he'll be fine and can let you/us know, soon. Get well, soon, George!! {{George}} As for you doing the right thing, Will. Yes, you sure did! And I am sure George will agree. This is too much for one person to know, indeed. You did keep quiet for a long time about it. Now you keep hanging in there, ok? Remember: We're not only friends of George, but of you as well!! {{Will}} Corrie

I agree with everyone else. It's well that you shared, because, as you put it, it's alot for one person to bear such a personal and tragic experience. It's well you shared this with the community that knows you both and will surely offer full support. My sister-in-law had a stroke just about two years ago at the age of 45. She had a defect in her carotid artery. She is well and except for the fact that she lost her ability to write and has some problems 'finding' the right words, you'd never know it happened. People need to gather together in times like this. Not be isolated. I pray for George's recovery and you should feel confident you are a friend and did the right thing, even if he gets mad at first he'll realize it too.

Sorry you had to bear this alone Will...
danapommet
You did do the right thing Will and George will understand when he is well enough to get back to you. Prayers to both of you. Dana

As the song said I heard from the grapevine George Dave and myself have been friends here since 2004 and we have had fun I knew he had a heart attack some time ago and he seemed to be getting a little better but george, if your seeing this I felt you changed after that: not as the old jolly george and who can blame you not I~~ However, I am mad at you for not telling me about this latest just wait till I get to talk to you your in trouble now "smile ""get well my friend"big hugs I sent a email to your home hoping Madelene would see it:: Please Will don't be so hard on yourself,you did the right thing So now you can ignore the IM I happen to just send you Will;;

My friend - I do not understand anything - but - I always enjoy visiting your gallery and see a wonderfully beautiful picture as always - God bless you my Friend
Rhanagaz
It is always a hard decision, I only know George very little but what does a real friend do in a situation like this? I think as others that it is the right thing in this case. If he has been responded it would have been something else...As others I will send my best thoughts both to him and you... Rhanagaz
Faemike55
Very sad to hear this news. You and George are in my thoughts and prayers. I think that you did the right thing. Be strong, Will.
tynana
Thank you so much for letting us know. I absolutely know how you feel in this situation. George has been a friend to me since I came here many many years ago. My prayers are with him and his family. His uplifting encouragement and the jokes that had me laughing til I cried..well, I'm sure you all know what these mean to a person. If you hear anything at all please let us know and pass along our love..for so many of us do love him dearly
