I found myself thinking of you now, in the middle of the night, fourteen years later. I was thinking, as we do when we reach an age, of the people we've lost. I'm sorry we lost you. The last time I saw you was at Dickie's funeral; you asked if we were still friends. Always and forever. I don't remember everyone but I do remember you.
