About 8 months or so ago, I met a man here called @wolfhart; he stood out to me because he was doing the same kinds of things that I was, namely trying to help as many new folks as possible, but in no time, he became so much more to me than just "a man I met". He became a very good friend, someone who I could talk to, and especially someone who understood what Brian went through on a daily basis because he too dealt with daily pain. He's made me laugh so many times that I've lost count. He also became a focal point of "our" Pay it Forward Curation Contest (started by @thedarkhorse), and very quickly changed his Discord group to that name; I know that he's been amazingly helpful to everyone that has entered that room.
Today, @wolfhart posted some very sad news; he received a cancer diagnosis last week(ish), and the prognosis is not good. You can read the details here. He told me about it the same day that Brian and I rescued a little baby kitten off the streets here in Mexico, and on that same day, I decided to name her Wolfhart, Wolfie actually, because she is a fighter and a survivor, and she's exactly how I think about our @wolfhart here.
I'm continually amazed at how I can develop such strong feelings for someone I've never actually met, but not being able to hug you makes this all the more difficult to process @wolfhart. Please continue to fight, for as long as you can, and all of my strength and love and positive vibes are being sent your way. <3 <3
In the meantime, I'll hug the Wolfie that I have here :)

Wolfie is so cute <3 <3 Definitely looks like a warrior.
I'm very sorry about your friend though :'( Effff... :'(
Lyndsay! How did I miss this!? Thank you so much, she's growing like a week and testing Buddy's patience daily ... a perfect kitten :)
Thanks about the human wolfhart too. He's done a wicked strong chemo run and now they're waiting for results. Just poison if you ask me :(
:'( :'( No words Lynn...my heart just breaks for all who are suffering :'(
Snugs for Buddy and Wolfie from me and my crew <3
@wolfhart, I have not had the opportunity to share with you, but I feel an immense desire to embrace him, I embrace you with all my heart with my prayers, may God bless you and allow you to recover. with Google translator
Thank you so much @celinavisaez; I really appreciate that, as I'm sure wolfhart does too :)
i feel fear when i hear the word "cancer" because i feel that it's the most suffocating and dangerous disease among all diseases and the person who is suffering and dealing with this disease can only know how it feels to deal with it. I am so sorry to hear this news about @wolfhart. hopefully god will bless him and he will recover soon ... i am sending prayers for him...
i can understand how shocking and sad this news for you. actually some persons are very close to our heart and we can't tolerate any negativity about them because those persons were there when we need someone very close to us and make us laugh and happy without demanding anything... we admire them always and they are special for us... hopefully everything will be ok dear... good luck
All the best wishes to you my dear you are by far a better person than I 🙂 thank you
@wolfhart you are stronger than me and you are a fighter. you will recover and will feel better soon. my best wishes and prayers always with you..
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment @priyanarc! I can see that wolfhart has affected you too here :)
Oh. That's such sad news @lynncoyle1. Thanks for posting the link to the post. 😍
Your welcome @gillianpearce. It is very sad indeed.
I'm shocked about this news. I don't even know what to say.
Yes, I know what you mean. I felt the same way when I heard.
Wolfie looks wonderful. So much better so quickly :) My prayers go out to @wolfhart and positive thoughts for him and his family.
Thank you@steven-patrick, she's like a totally different kitten after just a couple of days!
Thank you for the prayers too; he and his family can sure use them.
Life sure has a shitty way of treating people sometimes. Not this cat though. It's doing alright now.
It sure does @profanereviews! But nope, this cat's got a good life now :)
I was sorry to hear about what's happening to wolfhart. I'm glad that you were able to save the kitty and that's nice of you to name it in his honor.
Thank you so much @themanwithnoname. Life really is unfair sometimes, but not for this kitten I guess.
Life sure can suck at times. that's for sure. At least this little kitten has a good home with people who care about it. :)

Most welcome my friend
So sweet of you... i will keep your friend in my thoughts and his family as well . ❤️
Thank you very much @anonymity5 <3
Sad news indeed! Hope he will get better!
I appreciate that @lymepoet ; I really hope he does!
Such sad news :( How wonderful that you all have each other and my prayers go to fellow steemian @wolfart
Looks like you now have a new member of the family ;) She is precious and she obviously loves you all already (I can clearly see it in her eyes). Little princess she is! And what a special name you've given her.
Thank you @youhavewings; I'm sure wolfhart appreciates the prayers. I know I do :)
Yes, the little princess has made herself perfectly at home here :) Buddy is still not too sure about it all though ... I'm running interference most of the day haha

Wolfie the kitty it looking pretty spry and alive there Lynn. The first pictures of him were, well, lets face it he did not look healthy at all, and now he has turned a corner, has a new buddy to nuzzle when he needs, and a couple of nice laps for sitting and being petted.
She looks like an entirely different animal now! After a few days, she's really alive, and it took til day 3, but she's finally started to purr too :)
And thank you for the @wolfhart news. Not an easy thing to deal with.
Thank you @bashadow; no, it's not an easy thing at all, is it?!
I once had a cat named Wolfie. It is a most excellent name.
Steemit is such a strange place. It has a way of drawing out such strong emotion.
I have been just sitting here staring into space for the longest time.
Give Wolfie a hug from me while you are at it.
No kidding! That's just another sign that "Wolfie" is a perfect name. I've had a few days to let it all settle in, but I'm still in shock as well. There are no words really. It's just not fair.
😍 wolfie, she's really cute and I do hope that our @wolfhart will read this too. Do you remember his old post about "towel" but it's actually cat's scratching pad?
Thanks @cicisaja :) And yes, haha the towel post :)
sending love & healing vibes to @wolfhart <333 :) and pleased to meet wolfie, such a cute kitty!
Thank you so much @thereikiforest! You really are awesome :)
It's an honor & pleasure SiStar💝 likewise🎆
Wow, I read his post a few hours ago, then I hit this. It is heartbreaking to think about, and you're right, it seems you get closer to people you don't even know on here...
It's rendered me somewhat speechless @coinsandchains. Thank you for your response though; I'm sure wolfhart really appreciates it ... I know that I do :)
Indeed sad news for all steemian. I had few converstion over comment and he is trully a nice hearted person

Awwwwww, so cute Wolfie, love the eyes and soft hair...love your post. god bless you.
Thank you @ykdesign :) She's a totally different kitten compared to just a few short days ago :)
I feel so angry every time I see the word cancer, it had destroyed so many good people, I wish someday they can find a cure for it, soon!!
Anyway, Wolfie looks stronger already!
I feel so angry too @joelai! Truthfully, I haven't been on steemit much over the last few days because of it, but I know that he would want me to continue doing what I do here! Thank you so much for your reply.
and yes, Wolfie is totally coming alive :)
Blessing to @wolfhart, Brian and you!
Your story made me sad and admirable to you. Hope your friend will push through this as much as he can.
Thank you so much @psyceratopsb! I appreciate your kindness and well wishes :)
It's so sad that bad things always happen to good people...
(P.s.: give that cute little Wolfie a big hug from me too)
Posted using Partiko Android
It's totally sad and really unfair too! But in the meantime, Wolfie is getting all kinds of attention and hugs! She has really come into herself now, filling out, but finally starting to act like a kitten ... a real pain in the butt haha She purred for the first time too the other day; made my heart melt :)
I can imagine :0)
Youre a sweethart and the thought off what he is going through reminds you of Brians road, but ( you know me ) always a but miracles do happen, its possible. Sending love ❤️💪
Oh and she is absolutly adorable.
I sure hope you're right @brittandjosie! We could all use a miracle like that to happen!
And yes, Wolfie is pretty cute ... and it's a good thing; I'd forgotten how bad kittens can be haha
I am very sorry for your friend, my brother in law is going through this now. It sucks big time.
I agree with you on this one, it happens to me all the time.
Thank you so much @starjewel, and I'm so sorry for your brother in law too. It does suck; no two ways about it!
What a touching gesture. Hoping that both Wolfhart can beat the odds and perhaps one day meet Wolfie.
Proud member of #steemitbloggers @steemitbloggers
awww thank you so much @toddrjohnson :) I hope one day they can meet too; she is really beating the odds, and I truly hope the same for him.
Nice to see such relationships develop but wow thats such a sad story. Hope the prognosis can improve.
Thank you so much @intrepidphotos! I hope so too.
That's sad to hear, sorry about the bad news of a good friend.
Thank you so much @thegoliath; it was a real shock, but I hope he can somehow fight through it.

Wolfie is such a little sweetie! She looks so much better in just the few days that you've had her. It's amazing what love can do!
I love her name! I had a cat named Wolfie who was my soul cat. He lived for 24 years.
awwww your soul cat! That's a sign for sure that I've picked the right name for this little one :)
It is amazing what love can do; she's totally come into herself, her fur is soft and healthy, she's fighting back if Buddy picks on her too much ... she's a real kitten!
Today I found Buddy licking her like crazy, then she rolled over and feel fast asleep. All is well in the world!
He's a photo of me and Wolfie. I think that it was taken around 1991 or 1992?
oh my god that's cute Roger :)
Hello Wolfie! Watson says hello! (my cat)
Hey @basejumper :) and hi to Watson too!
