hello! my name is sandra, i'm from the netherlands and i love the beatles. (my at work today
i heard B. died last thursday. lately he was unhappy cause he wanted to go home to live with his husband again. he also had so much pain. he didn’t want to eat anymore.
i will miss him. he could be very angry but never to me (“they cut the flowers too short!! how am i supposed to make a pretty arrangement now!! everything goes wrong!”) sometimes he gave me a chocolate bar and said “shhh don’t tell the staff!” and at the end of a work day he would wish me a whole list of things.. a safe trip home, a good meal, a good evening, a wonderful night too and sleep well. and then sometimes he started over again.
when i walked past his room today, someone else was living there already. i saw his things standing in the hallway. his clothes, his Buddha, old photographs. it looked so sad.
tonight he is being cremated. he was such a wonderful man, he was 81 years old. i’m happy i may have known him.
