he died this morning, around 1:45.
i think it's for the best that the process is over. it's been long, slow
and painful for everybody, especially for him. with the kind of life
he's been living over the last few months, death should be viewed as an
escape from the cage of conscious existence.
it seems like what they did was take him off the anti-seizures and then
load him up with sedatives. i haven't heard the exact cause yet, but it
was probably a brain hemorrhage, and he probably went in his sleep.
there wasn't any other possible outcome. the drugs were just prolonging the inevitable.
that means she should, in theory, be able to wire it today. i'd
appreciate it if you acted otherwise unless i send another email,
though. she's not always reliable in the best of times, and she rarely
is in the worst of them. if she's mad at me or resentful over me not
being there, she won't wire it. altruism and empathy are two of the
things that her psychological conditions do not allow for.
i'll be back in town in a few days for the funeral. i couldn't handle
watching him die, but i definitely want to go to that. i need to find
out when that is, too. i want to get something signed in the next day or
two, get the keys, then leave immediately afterwards.
if neither of you wire it, i'm sort of fucked. if you both wire it, i can just give you the money back when i get back.
i'll let you know if she sends me any more info.
