SAYING FAREWELL TO A FRIEND

don was a really giving person......really unselfish. and he wasn't even a relative of mine, but he actually cared about the people he worked with, and he became a friend, even if i didn't get the full impact of it at the time..........i just depended on him so much.........every single physical problem i had.....that doctors didn't know a thing about and couldn't fix.........he could..........i had a badly sprained ankle that wouldn't heal for 7 months, and don knew exactly what was wrong, and after working with him, it was stronger than before the sprain. and i think i would have been an invalid as far as my back, if i didn't know don. and he had such a mind-body way of working, it was really incredible. i wish he could have seen me "grow up," the way i've been doing lately........i was more immature when i knew him. he didn't baby me at all, and could be pretty tough, probably because he realized i wanted to take the easy way out a lot, but he was able to talk about things, and be tolerant when we talked. i really miss don, and i still can't believe he's gone. don........i loved you, even if i couldn't have told you that when you were alive, but i hope it's not too late to say it. don......you were a good person. is the food good where you are? i bet it's good.......because you're in a great place now.........requiem aeternam, don, requiem aeternam. i'm going to play faure's requiem for you now so you'll have some lovely music, too, where you are.

love to dance.
