facing death and other types of loss
other than my parents and other relatives, no one really close to me has passed away…unless I’m blocking out somebody…JH (the open mic host) and I were almost kinda close…Perhaps it’s the word “close” that’s causing problems…anyway, a friend of mine (we met in high school) had a stroke earlier this week…I’ve been told it’s very bad…the prognosis is not good…I haven’t heard anything since yesterday, but I have a gut feeling that he’s gone–there was an operation this morning…he and I were in a band together just about the time I got outta high school…we went our very separate ways until we reconnected on FB…there’s been at least one face to face reunion since…hopefully, he’ll fully recover–however long that will take…the waiting IS the hardest part…
LATER–SLR wants to rehearse tomorrow (Sunday) but *I* don’t…it’s not just being distracted by everything that’s going on in my Life right now…PLAYING Music just doesn’t mean as much to me as it used to…Frankly, whatever money I make from the gig next week is more important to me than “moving people” or transforming someone’s Life…Of course I’m scared to tell SLR anything…Not because she might cry but because she’ll likely get angry…THAT is what I’m worried about…
