Wednesday December 3rd, I lost a very good friend, Wade Weisel, he was from the Philadelphia area and I only got to met him once a year when we went on vacation at the races in Iowa. He was the type of guy that after not seeing him for a year, as soon as you saw him again, it was just like you had seen him last week. He had some health issues, but I thought had been doing better, he was only 48.
His passing has really hit me hard I guess we were closer than I knew. He really was the nicest guy and would do anything for anybody. We talked often and he had called me a few weeks ago. I called him on Thanksgiving to wish him well and let him I know I was thinking about him. He didn't answer so I left a message, but he never called, that's what hurts the most. I just wish I could have talked to him one more time.
My prayer request is for his daughter Erin. I don't know her, but she is his only family other than Aunts and Uncles, and from what I understand is she has been hit with a lot right now. I pray for God to give her the strength to get through this. I also pray for all of Wade's friends. I know he touched a lot of people, and there are many sad people now that he is gone.
