I got a call about a half hour ago from my best friend Debbie. Her dad died early this morning from complications of the heart surgery he had yesterday. I wanted to post this because I know some of the people on my flist are old friends with her, or have met Debbie at parties, and I thought I'd let you know.
This is so weird. I've known her dad since sixth grade. He wasn't supposed to go already; we're still young and so was he, really. My extended family isn't very close, and her dad was kind of like a weird uncle to me when I was younger. Over the past few years I haven't been very close with her parents like I was when we were in high school and college, but still. Her family is like my family. I wish I could do something for them, but I don't know what. I can't imagine what it must be like for them right now.
Also, if I told any of you that I might get together with you this weekend, I'm officially calling it off. I'm going to keep myself available for Debbie and her family if they need me. I'm sure you understand.
