part 2 of
My friend ,Mark.
He looked very similiar to a cross between Patrick Swayze and Kurt Russell.
He easily could have been a conceited jerk but he wasn't. Instead, he was always trying to do things for others. He was always very nurturing and supportive.
I was blessed to not have to share him much with anyone as we were both usually single. He cooked us dinner nearly every night and I did the dishes. He would play our favorite songs and tidy up the rest of the house while I did them. We would then have dessert with our coffee and laugh (and on occasion ,cry) for hours. I always joked with him about being my 1st wife.
If I was going through something he would always bake me something to cheer me up and suggest we go to the river or beach. He was very calming and easy to be around.
He stood about 6"3" and could pass for a very manly man but he could pull out his swish when you least expected it.
He amused himself by using this shock factor effect on random people he would come across in his travels.
He had one former partner who he called the love of his life.
I got to witness his last moment of clarity with this man who showed
up to say his good bye's and knew he would finally now be able to let go.
I barely slept that night and shot straight up out of the bed at 5:00.
At 5:05, I got the call that he was gone.
I was in my late 20's. Some people never get to experience a friendship
like that and I feel enormously blessed.
His devotion for me ,made mine for him ,easy.
