Bert Case has fought a 15-round battle with Sepsis and is down on his knees before the final bell. His lungs are struggling to recover — and the prognosis isn’t cheery. But Bert is tough. And Bert loves being Bert. I think the only reason he has survived as long as he has is because he has a lion’s will to live. I want the best for Bert. I also want the best for his wife Mary, who I am also very fond of. I don’t want either of them to suffer.
Life is tough. But Bert is, too. I will continue to pray for my friend’s battle and journey. And I will also be inspired by his heart.
Be like Bert. Love your life and be willing to fight for it. When that final bell does ring (hopefully years from now), that will be his true legacy.
