The post read…

“After not seeing each other for 20 years, I never thought you would end up like this. Falling from the crane has left you disabled, and the train took your home. I do not have a lot but wait for me. I will visit you often. Once I have something, I will take you with me. Be it disability or whatever, you are still my friend, Big.”
