To Love, Part 2

October 29th, 2009

Today a friend passed. Eric has known this family for much much longer than I have. I know that this is hard for him. He loved Mr. D.

And because Eric loved him, I too loved him. He was a part of Eric’s life when Eric was growing up. Eric is the man I love partially because of Mr. D’s influence.

So this loss is duly sad. Because I am not there to be with Eric and because I feel like there is so much more to share with Mr. D and his family.

To love a friend. A man who was somewhat a stranger to me, but who was loved by so many people around me. To love a man who wouldn’t have remained a stranger if there had been one more dinner or one more karaoke night.

Mr. D – I hope you have peace. And may you grow more familiar to me through the memories of your friends and family.
