family, death
Yeah. My stepbrother Matt died a few hours ago.
Mom said I didn't need to come home, which really surprised me. I guess Matt wanted, quote, "nothing." I asked Mom if she thought he would've minded if I did some observance down here, and she said no, not at all.
So I think sometime this weekend I'm gonna go down to the French Quarter, buy a couple of drinks and a couple of sandwiches, find a nice park and eat my half, and leave the other half for the damn raccoons--which, for all I know, he could be one of now.
Goodbye and good luck, Matt. You were turning out to be such a good guy. But I know you were tired of fighting, and I'm glad you got to go out on something resembling your own terms. I love you, little brother.

@zx3 It's OK. *hug* He was stage 5 and the odds of him ever enjoying life again were basically nil by the time I last saw him a month ago. I really feel that's a valid time to wrap things up, and I'm glad he doesn't need to suffer through any more chemo or sedentary living--which he was HATING--just to keep our parents' spirits up.
If you really wanna honor his memory though... I still think it was the lawncare job that set him up for this. So if you could shoot a couple (extra) Monsanto execs when the Revolution comes, we'd both be ever so grateful.

@zebratron2084 @zx3 I already had them on my targeting list for other reasons, but I’ll inform them of this one before i get to the the etcs.
