Grief
I think I'm doing better when it comes to Duke.
But last night, I got a message that a friend of mine passed away nearly a year ago.
I had left a comment on his MySpace page back in April, since his birthday was coming up and I hadn't heard from him in forever. His comment feed was filled with ridiculous application requests and junk, so I didn't bother giving it a second glance.
The girl who contacted me had been dating him, and they had worked at Wal*Mart together. One day, he disappeared, and she found him in the bathroom -- dead from asthma complications. Asthma, of all things. I knew he had it bad, but come on.
We weren't really that close. But I've never lost anyone close to me (other than pets), so I don't know how to deal with death. I'm angry, I'm upset, and I'm still in disbelief.
I have a long way to go towards acceptance.
