I haven't been on the forum in awhile, but I have been on Facebook. I had just responded to Rich's Happy Friday on Facebook. I went on there and began reading things that I really did not want to read. My thoughts were instead to call Truman. I did and my worst fears of what I had read were true. Rich is an incredible and very special person. I will never forget meeting him in San Francisco and then communicating with him since then. At that time in his life he was very unhappy and confused about a lot of things. Then, as he so much deserved, he met and found true happiness with Gene. I have thought so many times about what a truly incredible life he had found. It was like that dream life that so many of us look for, but never find. I do feel so bad about not keeping in better touch with Rich. As I was telling Truman, there have been so many times I have thought about picking up the phone and giving him a call, but then something would come up and I wouldn't. I thought there was all the time in the world, but then things like this make us all realize that there truly isn't.
