Fortunately I have a great support system around me.

I am still fighting my huge sense of loss over WCGreen's death. We always talked to each other and it was really good for both of us. The vacuum that his death created has been very hard to get past.

I relied on him to explain things to me, and now that's gone. He really understood how the world worked, and he was able to tell me as well. And to think that he will never return is the toughest part of all. But that's the reality, and I am slowly getting used to it.

Thank you for being here...
