Prometheus 6

To Linda

I figured it was time to visit your blog, not just to see who it was that thought well enough of my writing to tell me so but to actually read your stuff. You're good. Tight and clear, which is my goal and hence a high compliment. I blushed a bit at what you posted about this site (as you know, when a Black guy blushed he glows purple). And got to the bottom of the page where to mention you husband who had passed away and I was like "What??"

Then I remembered DS told me DA had passed, and he couldn't tell me how to contact you. All I could say was "Oh, shit," because DA was a good man. A very good man.

I thought about whether or not to say anything. Then I read some more, because that had stopped me cold. In the end because you've had time to heal somewhat and because through the years and distance I've remembered you both as friends, I decided I needed to write something here. In rememberance of DA, and genuine pleasure at the unexpected resumption of our virtual friendship.
