Day 43 – Gary at Orange Cycle

Meow — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:28:44 +0000

He had one of “those” laughs that made you want to laugh too. It was an undertow of joy, and no matter how grumpy I was, he still made me smile.

Day 42 – Aunt Jonie

Meow — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:27:14 +0000

Grannie’s best friend, breast cancer took you. Your ashes scattered in the Keys, my grandparents will follow you. I loved your scarves when you went through chemo, and miss your smile

Day 41 – Brains (former boss)

Meow — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:40:54 +0000

Slacker, I know you read this on occasion. Don’t let your head get big, but you were my best boss ever. If only my current employer could take lessons from you.

Day 40 – The Rev – Jewlie

Meow — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:39:20 +0000

You’ve become what I never expected – wife & mother, but you were with me through the same journey, sans baby, so I should have known. Thanks for keeping in touch..

Day 39 – The Twins

Meow — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:39:22 +0000

Dark headed, with the mysterious house, back end of the cul-de-sac. You laughed when I fell off my bike, I laughed when one of you smashed your nose on the concrete.

Day 38 – Sissy

Meow — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:36:44 +0000

Don’s little sister, Shirley, the best, fiercest tomboy around. We melted Barbie heads and beat the boys at tag and climbing trees. I looked up to you, both figuratively and literally.

Day 37 – Don

Meow — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:34:51 +0000

When I was 7, I was convinced we would marry. I didn’t see the bruises from your father’s beatings, nor really understand your tone as you took it out on your mother.

Day 36 – Benny

Meow — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:15:35 +0000

Hati colored your accent – you spoke with a lyrical beauty. Unintentionally graceful, gracious, kind. I miss your smile and your giggle. I always felt bad when I cursed around you.

Day 35 – Anthony from Johnny Rockets

Meow — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:13:05 +0000

Not pretty, but funny. Not white, but looked it. Not prone to tantrums, but you kicked me when I was being an ass. The Food Court wasn’t the same when you left.

Day 34 – Caesar

Meow — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:56:25 +0000

Wearing scrubs, a smile, and carrying cigarettes, you rescued me and Miggy from our boring beds, with IVs dripping, & took us to a hidden balcony for smoky dominoes. How we laughed.

Day 33 – Frank

Meow — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:11:27 +0000

Two years of fucking in church parking lots, back seats, swinging, cameras, fumbling hands, and pretending we were just friends while our partners were around. The one time I said no, it ended

Day 32 – Nurse Nancy

Meow — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:04:26 +0000

You told me to breathe, wiped the sweat from my brow, heard her first cry, and sewed up my bleeding womanhood. You were an adoptive mother too, you said, as I cried.

Day 31 – Zev

Meow — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:55:01 +0000

We worked at the record store. I fell in love with your Mustang. I called it a crayon, because it was THAT green. You always gave me a ride home anyway.

Day 30 – Kahri

Meow — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:48:47 +0000

Beautiful, delicate, we imagined heaven was in the branches, and then the drugs wore off. I broke off a relationship for you, but you were too high to notice. So sad.

Day 29 – Lisa the Landlady

Meow — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:46:53 +0000

You charged us a boatload for the contraband beagle. You bitched about the lawn. You refused to pay for the faucet. Then, you tell us we were the best tenants ever?

Day 28 – Mer

Meow — Thu, 29 May 2008 21:37:31 +0000

I did you wrong as a roommate and a friend. We were young, and I never apologized. I learned to never let a man ruin a friendship. He wasn’t worth it.

Day 27 – Julie – Borders Manager

Meow — Wed, 28 May 2008 21:18:16 +0000

You tried to guide a store full of drug addicts, fuck-ups, and lost children. You did well to get out of the business of taking care of us, little gentle woman.

Day 26 – Mickey

Meow — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:05:18 +0000

My favorite uncle, talked to me like an adult and never understood why I didn’t “get” the drinking. I was horrified when I found out you used. It still bothers me.

Day 25 – German

Meow — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:03:45 +0000

Pronounced with a G, Chinese/Cuban, we kissed in the rain. I always wanted you as a friend because I knew I would destroy a relationship. You left anyway. Enjoy the silence.

Day 24 – Crystal Mike

Meow — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:02:01 +0000

So named for the gifts, not the drug use. My first geek admirer, too bad you were a creep and made my life hell. I traded in those D&D books asshole..
