The last time I heard from Red Dog, he was writing to me about my friends Claire and her husband Doug, who died only a few short weeks before Augie did. I told him how much I loved him and how I wished I could do something to make life easier for him. He did not suffer for 14 years like Doug did. He died on his own terms, in his own home, with his beloved friend Judi and son, Clark. I don't know the details; they are not my business but I want to share with you what he wrote to me last time he was able to sit up and use the computer:
"Thank you sweetheart. I got to take it as it comes and hope I make the right decisions. No matter how you look at this stuff it's not pretty. I sure hope your friends are doing better. One thing about knowing the time might be near is you have a lot of time to think about it. Now that kind of sucks. but it is what it is. Give your friend the V sign for me. love to you Lizzie the Dream Lady".
The world was a better place because of these two men I loved so dearly and left us much too soon. I will always be grateful for this huge blessing.
