mali

my dear friend Mike passed away on Friday. He had been ill for several years and outlived just about anyone else with his rare bone cancer. He had the most amazing outlook on life, and always came back with a vengeance from every treatment. Unfortunately i was a non social butterfly the last couple of months and hadn't kept up with him, but we had tons of rad quality time together the last 2-3 years. I count myself lucky.

However it has been hard, and admittedly i've been avoiding the whole grieving process this last week, working hard... pushing back tears. I do have plans to reminisce over lots of booze this weekend, before the memorial.
