the wake
kind of a bummer day, today i found out that a really good friend of mine's dad passed away on new years day. i'd lost touch of my buddy for about 2 years because he got re-married, changed jobs and moved, we used to be really tight, i was his best man for his first wedding. his dad had had a few heart surgeries, and alzheimer's was starting to set in pretty bad. he died of a stroke, which Frankie said was probably better for him than suffering for a long time. so i went to the wake for a few hours after work, i hadn't seen anyone in his family for a few years more than the last time i saw him. they didn't remember my name, but most of them remembered me. i generally get people to smile around me, i don't insite a clingy crying response. not like i was cutting up jokes, well, i was when i went outside to not smoke with Hoosh (Frankie). i dunno, i hope i made an unpleasant situation go by a little bit easier for those i talked to. so, Salute to Frank Senior where ever he is now.

Please give Hoosh my sincere condolences.
It is weird how things such as this work, but you know Ive always said, things happen for a reason, even though I know you don't believe in that sort of thing. I see this happening so you and Hoosh could be close again.
Take care.
Sorry to hear about that. Death is always such a hard thing to deal with. I don't feel like I'm very good at being in those types of situations. I feel uncomfortable and am never really sure what to say. Glad that you were able to give your friend a bit of relief.
