I wrote back giving him my msn details, but he never got back to me. I guess he didn't use msn? Now i wish i had a aim.... maybe i could have helped him... fark this can't be so!
Dude.. RIP man. I am so sorry we didn't get to know each other better.
he sent me a pm that night as well, but i was at work and didn't get it or have a chance to respond until a few days later. oh god, this is so sad. so fucking sad. i just keep thinking about all the times in the past that we've talked and stuff; why did i have to be at work that night? i'm sure it wouldn't have mattered, but it sounds like he was really reaching out to everyone who may have been available. fuck, i just can't stop crying. dave- you'll be missed more than you ever thought possible. i'm so sorry your life ended so premature; my thoughts and much love go out to your family.
Definitely hard to believe -- you're just used to that person (or stories of that person) being around forever. The ups and downs and information that he represented and experienced made up a large part of my early days on the board. RIP.
fark i just double checked and he messaged me on the night/day that he died also.... hence why he never responded to me when i asked him about msn.... Oh god I am heartbroken. God dammit
We talked off and on over the years and spoke on the phone a few times. He was very supportive when I was in rehab. Its sad he could not get out of his addictive cycle.
