I had a friend die this past week. It is impossible not to relate this to the recent death of my brother. It seems like the fragility of life is making itself ever more apparent. I did not know Max that well. He was a camper at the place I work. I connected with him when I heard my coworkers complaining about caring for him. I went to see what I could do to help and I watched them asking everyone for advice but Max. I wanted Max to know that this was not a reflection on the camp but rather the new employees. We talked about movies and books and philosophy and religion. He was very well informed and educated. In the short time I spent with him, I grew quite fond of him. He made a point to express his sympathies for me over my brothers death which is more than I can say for many "friends".
Max you will be missed. Please say hello to my brother for me.
