i have no shoes that go with sad



how do you dress for a funeral? or a visitation?
i know that anything i wear will from now on remind me that he has died
but i have no dark clothes really
i want to look nice for him, he was, as Daphne put it, "One of the last gentlemen".
he was my favourite

but it's better this way, he was sick for a long time

i'm wearing the same thing to the funeral tomorrow as i am to the visitation tonight.
i can't do two outfits. i just can't.

good bye Mr Gaskin. i will love you and miss you every day.
you were more of a grandfather to me than mine ever was
you are an amazing man, and i will forever aim to be even a little bit like you.


i should have played more chess with you.
i really should have.
