Thanks. I won't lie; it's very rough. I have moments of being really inspired and I want to write something, then I'll have moments where I'm just a puddle of tears. I haven't worn make up in over a week because I know it's just wear off by the end of the day. His best friend and I have been sharing e-mails almost daily, so we're kind of healing each other. I've been staying extremely busy, so I don't know if that's a good thing or am I just avoiding the pain to come. His funeral is this Saturday, and I don't do good at those. ( I miss my friend.

It's horrible, no denying this.
Turn it to your favor, write about it.
Write something, anything while you feel this way.
It will be in memoriam of him.
Can be bits and pieces, just write as this type of emotional slag is bad enough. Let God control it, it'll come out and it will help you heal while reminding you of your friend.

If I was nearby, I'd surely fill in for him as you and Cisco need to get this train back on the rails asap.

Chaeya,

This November will be a year since I lost the guy who might as well have been my Dad... He was a local artist (had quite a following in the southwest during the 60's and 70's...) When I was about 12, He and his wife took me under their wing (I Am best friends with their son.) , Every stitch of my artistic fiber, musically, Poetically and so on...came from this guy.

Last year, He had stage 4 Lung cancer and didn't bother to tell me or anybody else, for that matter... Well when he passed on, I took the initiative to take my guitar to his memorial luncheon. I sang a song that I had written especially for him. Let me tell you... there was something very cathartic in doing that. For starters , the song was such a damn tear-jerker that most of the women broke down... I almost broke down, and some of his best life long friends broke down...
All in all, the group of people had a damn cry fest... and it made every one actually feel better after... (I felt better because I finally gave something to him, that I know he would appreciate and would laugh his ass off about...

Maybe, Chaeya.. bringing song to Theron's memorial... would lend to a lot of healing for you and his friends

In my case, many people shook my hand and thanked me after the luncheon...Its as though I had helped to free something.

I've been working on a song, so I'll see if Cisco can bring his acoustic guitar and we can play it at the memorial. I'm just so busy this week, don't have time to lay it down in th studio.

Thanks guys.

Chaeya
