Tom, one of my forum members committed suicide.
A great man has left this planet. He was an artist, these are not often people who have easy lives. This man has had a pretty rough life. It seemed okay, but then his wife died and he lost pretty much everything he had. I'm still feeling pretty strange about this. I talked to his brother on the telephone for 90 minutes yesterday. It's strange to talk to a 60 year old crying man you've never even heard of before.
Tom left us (my forummembers) almost all of his posessions. 3000 CD's, 1000 LP's, loads and loads of tapes, audio equipment, photographical equipment. I'm the one who has to decide who gets what, which is pretty ****ed up.
So these days are... Sad, and somehow interesting. I feel like I'm learning a lot right now.
As for Tom. It's allright this way. Altough I feel sad for everyone he left behind, this is really what he wanted. He tried for three long years after his wife died, but it was somewhat pointless, really. I still admire him for trying though.
