on death and dying

In the last year:

John Blume -- your best friend in high school's dad; blind, in terrible pain; a relief

John Clarke -- your across the street neighbor; accidental, sudden

SAH -- your dad; long, drawn out, grueling

Blakestyles -- your friend; lung cancer; he was 33; you saw him at the Sept. Red Rocks shows, three weeks later he's dead

Lee Lowery -- your best friend in high school's nephew; from ATL; murdered in a drug deal gone bad at the Ford Factory; he was 20

Enough already.
