I found out on Christmas Eve 2018 that Lorna had passed away in the summer of 2017.

I loved her at a time when I was too immature to deserve her attention. She wanted to “take her space” and I was in my; ‘ It’s my way or nothing alcoholic phase. ‘

I was angry and separated myself from even trying to think of her. I was almost successful.

I loved her sense of freedom and fearlessness and she changed the way I viewed life.

I regret not apologizing to you Lorna for my behavior. You were right; I was wrong. I have always missed you.
