I posted about some things that happened back in November/December of 2004 a couple of months ago. As I've been thinking about those couple of weeks, there are certain highlights that stand out to me, and I when I think about it, everything almost seems like a movie montage where a stretch of time is shown over the course of a couple of minutes. Just the "highlight reel" if you will. Although I wouldn't call this a highlight reel.
home late from work. phone call. trip to hospital. all of the people. the machines. the people. the staff. the people. the brother commenting about the stress driving him to smoking. the people. so many people. the despair. the love. the people. the incredulity of what is happening. the people. off to the mother's house to care for the dogs. the step brother. vague conversation recollection with people. the waiting. the end. being notified of the end. the beginning of the end. back to work. trying to process what happened. the plastic sandwich and mustard. the trip to rockville. the hotel. the church. the people. the incredulity of what happened. candle being snuffed out with fingers. the people. the hotel. trying to disassociate with zelda. the shower. ashtray gate. the trip home. the finality of what happened. flash forward a week or so. the table at starbucks. the people. the specific person just sitting. the concern. the incredulity of what happened. the realization years later of what was happening that night. the end.
