A year ago tomorrow I lost a good friend to a car accident. I remember going to therapy the next day and coloring with the crayons and asking my T if it was ok if I didn't talk about it. So we just sat there, and I colored, and we talked about what artists we liked, and totally didn't do any therapy. And then a few days later, at the memorial service, I bawled and bawled and couldn't stop. I soaked a whole packet of tissues. He was a wonderful guy, and there were tons of people at the service. And I sat with lots of friends, and we all just cried our eyes out. I wish the really great people got some kind of special dispensation so they could have long happy lives. He was the kind of guy that really changed the world for the better. He made everyone feel so welcome and special. Everyone was in a better mood as soon as he showed up anywhere. I miss him lots and lots.
So I'm sad, and I just wanted to explain this somewhere. I suppose I should post this on grief, but I don't know the folks there. I hope this doesn't seem like a downer. Actually, thinking about him makes me smile and laugh as well.
