In case you didn’t read the beginning of the last post, a friend died on Sunday evening. He was a good guy and I went to school with him. Poor sod even took care of me when I was paralytic and distraught at one point in the past few months. I’ll never forget him for that. I really needed that half an hour or so of company and he wasn’t about to let me go anywhere on my own until I’d calmed down.</p> <p><img src="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m279/Jocasta_Lizzbeth/Journal%20Stuff/AngelintheMaking.jpg" width="320" height="408"> <br><font size="1">[And we all know he’ll be hitting on the angels by now.]</font></p> <p>I hate thinking of that night for how distressed I was.
