In retrospect, I definitely wrote this much more for myself than I thought. As in, it made me feel good to write it. Took about an hour and I spent that hour doing nothing but thinking about my friend -- amazing.

    I remain in touch with a deceased friends mother. Her son's been dead for about 5 years now. I know she'd welcome a story or remembrance of her son from anyone, even a kid she didn't "like," at one point. Time heals. Hang in there pal.

Maybe so, maybe so. She connects me with a part of his life that wasn't pretty (to her) ... and it's not a stretch to jump from that part of his life to his death. I don't know. It's been a while, time does heal. I'm sure I'll see her again someday.
