It was a very special event, and like you, I will never forget it either. <br /><br /> http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Celso-Chavez&lc=4092&pid=157660521&mid=<br /><br />Celso forgot that he did have friends. Lots of them. They are very real, and they filled that room that night. Thanks for being there!<br /><br />Veronicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763800617635009425.post-36161155131632649362013-02-06T09:10:41.215-08:002013-02-06T09:10:41.215-08:00Hi, Veronica.

Although I couldn't attend Celso's funeral I did attend the nighttime wake which was an experience I'll never forget.<br /><br />Whether people know it or not they are influenced by their friends in one capacity or another, and Celso continues to live in my consciousness.

I watched him die, and as I sunk to my knees, wailing, I knew my life would never be the same without him. I lost my best friend; our son Vincent lost his dad. Celso died from "community acquired pneumonia,MRSA with Sepsis" but the death cerrtificate also noted that his death was due to "Substance Abuse History".<br />He kept this last part a secret. I knew something was deeply wrong with him in the last two years of his life...I called him out on it and he always grinned and said "Nahh. I'm fine!"<br />I love that he was shopping for a diamond necklace for me in the "Diamond District" of downtown L.A. He would have showered me in diamonds if he had the money..but the diamond necklace was a gift he gave me only in our dreams. <br />I will miss him terribly. I still cry every day. But my life will always be better for having loved him. Thank-you Andy. <br /><br /> Veronicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763800617635009425.post-65946992015495398252012-05-16T06:36:47.578-07:002012-05-16T06:36:47.578-07:00That was very touching.
