Been here with Johnny for five years been knowing him for over 20...He treated me like a daughter... strange waking up not seeing him or him yelling for his breakfast cause I'm not a morn person but I'd get up cause he'd eventually be at my room door! He left telling me he'd be back in one to two weeks and I'm still waiting!!! We'd talk about this kind of thing all the time so I guess that's why it's even harder to get use to...he also said I'll be there to bother you every chance I can and if you knew him you'd know why it seems as if he's sitting in his favorite chair right now!!! Well a million stories I could tell but one thing is for sure this is going to take some getting use to but I know someone that can handle it all and I've talked to John about him many times just so thankful before he left he finally listened one night whole heartedly! God bless
