It's always really strange news when you hear about someone (from once upon) dying. And even more so, killing themselves. I've known -knew- John David for about ten years. A decade of knowing someone. I remember his disapproving scowls when I started dating Henry, and his invasive, rude behavior. Every time I assumed he hated me he would do

So strange, you are right. Shocking, but in the end, like you put so well, not really surprising. I like what you had to say. Interesting to think of myself as a liason for ackwardness, but there's no denying it. He taxed a lot of people by my introduction, and for that I am sorry. It could have been different, though. There were many people who could have cared for him a great deal if he would have let them.

"There is a hole in the world when we loose a storyteller."

Captivating. I'm still thinking about this one. I wonder if the hole he left is smaller than vacuum he wrought around his personality.

It could have been diffrent. There were times in our history I feel like me and John David could have been friends-probably good friends, there was just this ongoing tension. I can't tell if he thought he was too good for me or not good enough, but then there were these small moments where he would say something so encouraging or kind hearted.

It's funny, I just don't know how to react to situations like this. I know how I'm supposed to, but then I'm left feeling guilty that I don't. I asked Cynthia about funeral services, not because I think I would actually go, but because it just seemed like the thing to ask.

I believe storytellers are so important. It's always so sad to see someone be wasted.

Has anybody talked to Trae? I talked to him about a month ago, but I don't know if John David's mother would know to call him or his family. As far as I know they were still talking...just a thought.
