Our Drummer is in the hospital

[Teutooni]

I have no idea what you are going through right now, but looking at old photos and remembering the happy times sounds like a plan. My sincere condolences, for what it's worth.

The only reason I brought this up again was because they were having a birthday party for him in his home town. Mike (Other guitar player, my best friend) and his wife went down there but I couldn't bring myself to go. Last year it wasn't too tough to deal with and I was able to shut it out fairly well, but today I had a little trouble earlier.

I've always been pretty stoic about death. Several of my close family has died (2 grandparents for example), and I handled that fine, but for whatever reason Kyle's death really got to me. Even talking about it in text gets me a little choked up. Fuckin hell. As kyle used to say, "Shit'll buff out".
