Our gathering to share our love and appreciation for Don certainly was cathartic for me. Definitely bittersweet, with the pain of loss mixed with the good fortune of having shared such a great friend for half a century. A part of Don will remain with me forever, but a part of me also went over that horizon with him. It was comforting to share that joy and sorrow with so many others connected to Don and see so many good old friends come together. Don has reminded us again how precious good friends are. (Very nice photos and video.)
The day ended too soon and we had to depart for Los Angeles early the next morning, so we didn't get a chance to exchange much contact info. I can always be reached through my email: michael@harrington.com (which will never change, for obvious reasons). Bindu and I also bought into my Mom's house in Cutchogue to draw us back to the North Fork again and again.
I feel Don is still with us with this blog and I will revisit to speak to him through our shared bond. I know he'll be visiting me in my dreams, and when he does I'll probably greet him with "What's in the bag, Donald?" knowing exactly what he's gonna say back.
