    Dear David,

    It’s been two months since you’ve been gone and the world is such a different place without you.

    I still have visions of you rounding the corner to tell me everything will be alright. You were always good at giving comfort and understanding, but now I have to find that on my own. I’m sure you would say, “But you’re not alone, Gail” — which is true, I have good friends who care for me, but even after a pleasant evening in their company I still go home and stare at the walls because a part of me died with you that day. I mourn for you, but also for us.

  2. David at 17: Frost

    Journal 11/8 (1984) – Frost

    During the summer, frost is pretty and makes pictures on your windowpane but in winter it’s the nasty stuff you have to scrape off your car windows. I had to scrape some off this morning, because no matter how pretty the pictures are, you have to see out. If there really is some little Jack Frost guy who paints the pictures, he should be locked up for the winter.

    The weather here in Toronto has been all over the map. Today and yesterday the windchill factor was beastly, but a couple of days ago it was warm enough to ditch the scarf, and a couple of nights ago we walked home through pouring rain — accompanied by thunder AND lightning! — that turned the snow to slush. Snow that fell only the day before!
