You know, in answer to your question of like, how have I gotten to know Paul differently?

Yeah.

I mean, when someone dies, like stories come rushing in.

And then I think reading his book at different phases of my own life, I even get different things, even though I knew him so well.

And then I think, you know, just the process, there's a flip side, which is like how to not flatten someone after they die.

Like, I think like when someone dies, they're sort of suddenly they become like so amazing and perfect.

And I can't believe we lost this person.

And all those things are true.

Yeah.

But at the same time, it's like he like, you know, left his socks on the floor and it annoyed me.

Like, you know, just he was just a regular person and he was funny and he drank too much whiskey and he like just he was like textured, you know.

And so I often think about like all the things I do remember about him.

How do I keep those like in memory and keep him like complicated instead of like mythic?

Isn't that interesting?

Right, or is it about remembering?

Like, remember to notice when you have your person here.

And then, yeah, when they leave, remember to, yeah, don't forget.

I mean, it's sort of like simplistic and it actually makes it sound like

the wounds will then go away.
