Dreaming of Larry

from kateri to those who will have themselves benefit:

i had my first dream of larry last night.  he knew about my vivid and strange dreams that would drift to me in the night. in my dream larry didn't know he was dead.  we looked at pictures and i tried to tell him he was dead; he just gave me a goofy laugh and said "tuh, come awn" in his little harrisburg accent.

i have decided that this isn't sad even though i have let my heavy eyes take a load off here and there.  i'm just confused about his current state.  we, the living ones, are only human and cannot understand the final transition yet;  all that we know is grief.  he went away from here but i am convinced that a body with such energy and a brain with such fantastic knowledge lives on.  i imagine the moment of his death over and over.  all of the energy and power within that physical pod were released into the atmosphere so that we can feel him every time the breeze sweeps across our bodies.

the remains of once-great beasts at the milwaukee public museum helped me to remember that no one and nothing stays here in its physical form for very long and that we need to cope with that however we so choose.

larry leaving  happened too soon, but that is only because we are still here.  we all know he loved being active so i know he still is.  his heart belonged to the beauty of this world and his apparent love and appreciation for everything that this place had to offer was eye-opening.

being so close to eachother is a gift that was given to us 10 short years ago.  he deeply loved watching me grow and wanted to show me all that was so beautiful to him.  i took satisfaction in being like a daughter to him.

 his influence upon my life is everlasting.
