Thanks old friend! There is a sense of relief, for the past couple of years Lindy would confide in me that he was ready to go, that life had become a burden not worth the effort. He had made his peace and was ready for whatever it is that comes next. Now there's the question of what comes next for me -- it looks like I may reunite with my exwife who's invited me to move in with her when I leave here. The family wants me to stay for at least six months while all of the legalities are dealt with -- an unglorified security guard.
