He shouldn't be gone. He should still be here. He should be smiling and laughing and quoting poetry and pouring wine and making merry and just being Dirk.
This wasn't supposed to happen, was it?
I feel like a child. Why is he gone? Why won't he come back? When will it really finally hit me that he's gone?
I haven't seen him in a long time. I wish we had been closer.
Dear Dirk, there are hundreds of souls you have touched with your immeasurable joy and incomparable flair and fantastic humor. There are hundreds more now who will be touched.
Miss you.
