To my stand partner, I remember all the times we waited in concert halls, waited to go on stage, or even the times we did workshops. We didn’t have many moments of sadness. Mostly we laughed and worked hard to be the best that we could. All through the years, we became part of a musical family. We didn’t have stand partners because we played base, but we still got labelled stand partners which still makes me smile and laugh to this day. I really miss you.
When things turned for the worst for you, there was no getting to you in time. When I found out, I always mentally hug myself. I know I shouldn’t feel responsible or put the blame onto me. Just at that time, everything was always my fault. It took me a long time to learn that I can’t make everything better. I think of all the happy times. It still makes me really sad. I hope you are getting to play your bass in heaven. Well, at least I’ll be optimistic, thinking you’re there.
