Thank you Shawn. I'm at the home stretch here, it's just a matter of weeks before the limbo is over and what's left is to deal with reality and finality.
Got an e-mail from SBXH asking me about airports in Chicago. He's flying there probably in March for a show (initially were were both going and staying at my parents) and wanted to know which airport was closer to the venue. I gave him my advice, commented on his comment of being tired and wanting to sleep and asked him to prepare shopping list since I'm going food shopping tomorrow.
He answered back very thankful for my input, talked about his plans for cooking dinner and the fact that his friend is coming over to work on his freelance. He asked me if I could pick up some art supplies on the way back but then said that it's okay if I won't, he'll just go himself.
I replied "you're welcome, anytime (about my advice)" and offered to pick up the stuff since I'll be driving by the store anyway. He thanked me back and wrote down what he needed. Did not reply to that e-mail (trying not to be the last one to write back).
So that's it. Just another day waiting for what's left of paradise to crumble.
