This is a photo of my wedding bouquet. The excellent friend of my mother's who put it together and designed all the other flowers for my wedding died today at his home in Maui. His partner of almost 40 years found that he'd died in his sleep. He asked to be cremated and be spread at Haleaukala so he can be close to the stars. Martin, was his name. Crazy Martin who'd buy me booze and cigarettes. Was good looking and when you went to dance with him he'd do girl arms too. Martin who could copy any painting or piece of furniture he wanted to. Although I hadn't spoken to him in years, I'm crying and I'm going to miss him very much.
