breathe easy Joe

joe mackool
these few photos are a tribute to joe mackool. he died of complications from cystic fibrosis late last night. i was in school with him for many years and he was a dear friend of mine. about a year ago he got a whole new set of lungs at Columbia Presbyterian and proudly showed me his giant stapled scar that went from one armpit to the next. he was skinny, but pink, and said he didn't know what to do with all the extra air in his lungs. after months of chronic organ rejection the disease caught up with him. he will be very very missed.
love you joe




love you...
