My best friend, Lou, is gone. The sun is shining bright in Heaven and I won't be able to call her and tease her when it snows. I wasn't there when she left although I should have been. Darryl texted me around 6"45 to tell me she'd made it through the night, was colder but still here. I asked if I should come right up or would an hour be ok. He thought an hour would be ok. I putzed around and took my time getting dressed and stuff -- I can't even remember what I was doing -- and was heading out a little after eight. That's when he texted me to say she was gone. I will miss her forever.
We stayed up there with her for about four hours. She looked so peaceful finally.
I couldn't stay home and think so I went to the Ansonia parade and sat with Anthony's old girlfriend, Jen, and her boyfriend and Brian, my photographer friend, and his wife, Ally. I tried to hide from the Rennies but some of them saw me and I had to wave. Tory came and gave me a hug.
Then I went to Anthony's, where I'd parked my car and said hello to my Pino and went home. A little later Peggie called and we went to Yvonne's cookout and then the lodge for a little while. Now I'm home and just want to sleep.
I have to be at the lodge at 7 a.m. tomorrow because four of us are marching in the parade.
