Love and Loss
9 years ago
I got a Skype call yesterday morning. It was one of 
Galonodel 's friends, calling to ask if I knew where he was. He never calls me that early on a Sunday morning. Nobody does.
Galon was missing since last night. There was news of a car crash in the county he had gone to. The driver of the vehicle had named him as one of the occupants. They wanted me to tell them if I'd heard from him, or knew of anywhere else he might be. I looked up the news article immediately. Two dead, only the driver survived.
I had been texting with him just the previous night. My friends and I were at a D&D game. He was sending me all sorts of drunk texts and stickers on telegram. Plenty of hearts and nuzzles and hugs and other things. I smiled. It's what he always did, and it always made me chuckle, even if I couldn't look at all of them in polite company. He liked teasing me. It was cute, even when it was embarrassing. He thought of me when he was drinking. He loved me, deep down. I made my usual mock protests and said I'd look at them later.
12:33 AM: "To be fair, you drunk texted me... I'm just returning the favor! XD"
12:33 AM: "I love you though! <3"
I didn't reply until our game was over.
1:22 AM: "I know."
1:22 AM: /me hugs
The news article said the crash happened at around 1:30 AM.
Galon and I never had an argument, but when we disagreed, it was usually me doing it. I'd tell him I worried about his diet, or poke fun at how he would have looked cuter in his old military haircut, or disagree with his politics in some minor way. And I often mentioned, though kindly, how he misbehaved when he was drinking, particularly with me. He was, I hope, having as much a chuckle as I was at my heckling. I never meant him any ill will by it. At the end of the day I always told him I loved him, though never quite as much as he told me.
The last words I got from him were that he loved me. I hope he read the ones I sent to him. I did love him. I wanted him to know that.
I'm going to miss you hun, more than I can even imagine. The world needed you now more than ever. So did I.

My deepest condolences, and please be well.
I'm still trying to piece together what happened. I can't understand the what or the why. It just seems so senseless. I'm glad I made him as happy as I did. He was a wonderful man.
While we only got to meet him the once at AC, It was an absolute pleasure to get to know him with the chance we had. You know that Paul had absolutely adored him :')
Paul and I want to remind you that you are always always always welcome to message us whenever, about anything, you have our skype and everything <3 We're always here for you; Please stay safe and take things easy.
We were planning on coming to AC again this year. Maybe I'll see you guys there.
Best of wishes for you. This series of events has been heartbreaking for everyone.
My late condolences.
