I haven’t updated in around a month, wow.
Things have changed, quite a bit..I guess I can start at christmas?
My christmas was nice. I got a 120gb Zune, a BUNCH of smell good stuff from Mom, Ash, and Patty. A couple walmart cards, a 100.00 barnes & noble gift card, and with that I bought 9 books. I got a beautiful ring from Ryan, and Dinner and a tattoo from my Dad. New years was fine, I spent it with Ryan of course. We watched movies and talked all night.
Then, in the beginning of January, Denver had a heart attack. I mean, not just a little one, one bad enough to knock him into a coma and stop his heart.
The first couple of days he kind of opened his eyes a little bit, moved, but didn’t really look at anyone. About a week into his stay, I was holding his hand, he squeezed my hand a bit, turned his head towards me, and looked right at me. I said, “Hey, old man,” and he kind of lifted his eyebrows, looked right in my eyes, looked directly at Ryan, and turned his head the other way and closed his eyes. He didn’t move, open his eyes, or anything like that, ever again.
Now that I think about it, I think he left right then.
He passed a few days later, he was on a ventilator. They decided to take him off, because we all knew he wouldn’t want to live like that. He died at about 11:10, January 13th.
The wake was depressing. I got to meet a lot of the family. Same goes with the funeral. The world lost an amazing individual. I didn’t know him for very long, but he grew on me. I loved him like i’d love my own family. He was always so funny and friendly with me, and I’ll never forget that old coot.
Nothing more to say, really. I’ve been staying with Ryan for almost a week. He needs the company.
