Thank God, I called him last week. Thank God, he was lucid and laughing and made me laugh, too. We had such a good talk. It wasn't a good-bye talk. It was a "I'll talk to you soon" thing but stuff that needed to be said was said. We had plans to talk next Monday. I was going to teach him to Skype.
I don't know what's going on now with the funeral and stuff. If there is one, I'll be flying down for it.
I'm pretty tore up with conflicting thoughts and out-of-control emotions.
Godspeed, Alex. I'll miss you.
