3 Good Reasons to Not Be There

[apostle]

Despite wanting to be elsewhere than where I am at right now, specifically wanting to be with those sending off a good friend, it's apparent to me now that there is no way I am going to be able to make it

Gah - I'm sorry you have to miss that - it does reinforce my desire to not go out tonight - if the roads are bad enough for you to describe them as "surmountable" it's way beyond my preference for driving.

Good evening.

I am Pete's friend in Ontario, and I recognise your alias. I think that I've seen you comment upon his passing elsewhere. I encourage you to talk to your friends that could attend this memorial... But if you have any other questions, then just ask.

You gotta do what you gotta do, and I know that he'd understand. Really, Pete is cool with you going about your life to do what you need to.

Sleep well tonight.

My real name is Aaron. I, at one time, lived with Colleen and Luke while Pete couch-surfed in our apartment living room. Pete often referred to me as Gothic Fabio from back when I had long hair and hung out at the clubs with our mutual friends.

The realities of my existence right now are forcing my hand, which is frustrating me to no end. I think Pete would have understood, especially considering my particular collected state of affairs: unemployed, out of cash, and getting sparse side-work at best.

You're Aaron? Heh. Yeah. He talked about you often after he'd come back from Seattle. He rather liked you as sort of a kindred spirit.

Please, keep your chin up and continue to tread water. I KNOW that Pete had NO idea what ripples that he would make if he left this reality.

Do take care.

I know what you feel all too well.
