Arrangements

I got a call on my phone early this morning, a message from Mike's dad. He didn't know if I knew. Apparently Mike had a seizure; he passed away instantly.

I tried to call back, and realized he'd called me from Mike's cell phone. It rang and rang, and I should have hung up, but I wanted to hear Mike's voice - just his name - on the message. I left a teary message to Mike anyway.

The funeral will be next Monday or Tuesday, in Athens, Ga. It's probably better to call the funeral home than Mike's parents. Although I did call and talk to his dad anyway to tell him how sorry I am.
