Bye for now

Kito,

If I had only known that you would be gone so soon, I would have talked to you more often! How much I miss being able to email you about politics and talk about how crazy things are...

I keep having flash memories of that day last November when you picked me up at the Denver airport, and then we stopped at that mall...we were both browsing around the Anthropologie store, etc. I just keep remembering how normal that day seemed, just putzing around, no hurry to talk...it is so painful to think that visit was the last time I would ever hang out with you.

I think if you had lived, I would have persuaded you to brave the Indiana heat and come out here this summer for the Harp Festival. We hope Maddie comes out for it. And Miles, too. And Emily...

It's funny, how all the friends we had in college...some faded away and some were really kindred spirits.

Oh, just, I love you, Kito, and I think of you so often...

Lynne
