The funeral

Jun 14, 2006 16:25

We had to get up bright and early on Monday, cause Andrew's funeral was at 9:30...a very un-Andrew like hour. Kenji, Amy, and I were his only friends there, the rest were family.

i'm so sad to hear that andrew's funeral was so far from what he would have wanted, and from what he deserved. thank you for writing this, though.

& thank you for reminding me:

"I remeber him yelling out car windows to passerbyers, "Free Palestine. Show us your tits!" .... I remember the different inflections of Sunny saying, "Mandrew. Maaannndreww, and, Mandrew?" And how can I forget Andrew making fun of young hipsters by saying that they were Strokes fans, and taking the piss out of the yuppies by calling out to them on the street, "Bougie ass motherfuckers!" "

i'm really going to miss him, too. i hadn't hung out with him for a long while, and wish i had spent more time with him. the other day i drove by the lex, and felt so sick - - what a mess. what a wretched mess this all is.

holy strokes fan, batman.

i want my best friend back. he was supposed to be here right now, snoring away in my bed. i'd probably have him covered in 6 million pillows to spare the neighbors. i need him and he's not here.

this was so not suicide. thank you for telling his family that, marlene. i hope they believed you. i hope that they know that andrew clung to life for dear life.

thank you, marlene. i will call you tonight.

Thanks for sharing this Marlene. There is no way it was suicide, I think we all know that.

I'm sorry I couldn't be at the funeral with you to hold you and comfort you. I'm sorry you lost your friend. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. I know it is hard to lose someone you love.

*hugs*
