Jim Hazlett lives in Alabama, where his daughter Jill Benefield and her family are caring for Jim in his final days.
Benefield said she expected to say goodbye to her dad days ago.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We got a call a week ago that he was probably not going to make it through the weekend, and so we flew his great-granddaughter down there. She's 3 years old, and 바카라 게임 웹사이트 I kid you not 바카라 게임 웹사이트 within about two hours of her being there, the doctor said they couldn't understand what happened. It was just a remarkable improvement,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Benefield said.
Jim바카라 게임 웹사이트s doctors said he might even live to see 2025.
Benefield said she바카라 게임 웹사이트s amazed that he바카라 게임 웹사이트s still here, and he still has an appetite for his nostalgic favorites.
바카라 게임 웹사이트He cried like a baby last night and said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트If only I could have one more bite of kolache, I could die a happy man,바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트 Benefield said.
Kolache, Jim바카라 게임 웹사이트s favorite dessert, is what many call nut roll. Jill went straight to the experts, "," a Facebook group of more than 338,000 people who celebrate the cookie table tradition.
Laura Magone, in Monongahela, Washington County, got Jill바카라 게임 웹사이트s request late Thursday night.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I thought, 바카라 게임 웹사이트This is really special.' This really tugs at your heart that someone has her dad in his final days. His last wish is to have a nut roll, and she's come to us to ask,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Magone said.
Not knowing how much time Jim has left, the people of this online community went to work.
바카라 게임 웹사이트So, it started off with several people offering to send one nut roll, but our group tends to go overboard,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Magone said.
Everything Jim바카라 게임 웹사이트s family needs to set up and decorate the cookie table of the year is in the mail. The cookies and nut rolls are being overnighted.
바카라 게임 웹사이트All I told him was he had a kolache coming, and he said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Is it from Pittsburgh?바카라 게임 웹사이트 And that was his concern,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Benefield said.
The kindness of Pittsburghers and cookie lovers across the country is bringing out a side of Jim in his final days that his daughter thought was in the past.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I saw my dad go from a dying, scared, sad, but grateful man, to, to me, what looked like a 7-year-old kid waiting on Santa Claus.바카라 게임 웹사이트
A taste of his childhood and the life he had in Pittsburgh 바카라 게임 웹사이트 Jim바카라 게임 웹사이트s final Christmas gift.
바카라 게임 웹사이트He said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Please tell these bakers that they are doing for me what my mom can't be here to do herself,바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트 Benefield said.
Benefield said she바카라 게임 웹사이트s exchanged messages with people who are sending cookies and nut rolls and one mother in particular who she wants people to say a prayer for.
바카라 게임 웹사이트There's a woman that said she's going to send cookies to my dad in her son Jimmy's honor, and her son Jimmy is serving overseas,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Benefield said.
Benefield said her dad was fortunate to reconnect with a close friend from his past and find love late in his life. Sadly, she said the woman is in poor health as well and can바카라 게임 웹사이트t visit Jim in Alabama.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Karen's also sick with leukemia, and as a result, she's not able to travel or be around people in large groups at all. So what that means to me is Karen is also going to be home all alone on Christmas,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Benefield said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트If there's anybody out there that can take just a spare, a few moments, just to maybe drop by and leave her a card and maybe just a paper plate of just a nice home-cooked Christmas meal. My dad 바카라 게임 웹사이트 I think that would be the greatest gift anyone could give him.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Benefield asked that if anyone is interested in reaching out to Karen, that they contact her.
