Today I got some sad news. It appears that my landlord, Mr Martinex, suffered a fairly severe stroke last night. Apparently he had some sort of blood infection and a vessel broke in his brain, sending the infection soaked blood over a good sized piece of his brain. While I do not know the significance of the infection and how that effects his brain or his stroke, I'm sure it cannot be good.
Mr Martinez has become a good friend over the years. He's one of the few people that showed confidence in me and Dana being able to make it here in Corpus Christi... He's been our landlord since we first got to town. It was a rough road at first, but as he got to know us and vice-versa, our friendship and trust in eachother increased, and it was really nice to be kinda tight with him.
He is man well into his 80's, and I'm afraid that he was already plagued with issues of skin cancer. I believe that he had other cancer too, but was too proud and strong to tell us about it. Lately he'd been working on our apartment complex and made some very major, much needed fixes to roofs, walls, gates, and all sorts of interior things too. We were starting to feel like we weren't living in a slum anymore. It's getting better all the time.
Today I send out prayers to him. I hope you get well Mr Martinez.
