It's weird, Mark.

Weird that I didn't know. Weird that you didn't tell me. Weird that you sent all those pictures.

Frustrating too, but mostly weird.

You know how you told me to see a therapist that one day?

Well, I did.

I've been going for months now. Things aren't the way they were before, but they never will be. I'm learning that.

I'm finding more friends. People to wash me up in their enthusiasm and happiness the way you used to. You were a river that engulfed me and carried me through life. When you left I felt like I was stuck in a whirlpool, doggie-paddling in circles with nowhere to go.

But swimming makes me stronger and I'm finding a way out, finding a current and a destination again.

I guess all I wish is that you could have done that too.

But if you were a kitten, swimming probably didn't feel like it was making you stronger.

It probably just felt like drowning.


Sorry for the lateness of this update! Summer got crazy all of a sudden. Only one left!
