Diesel died at 12:15 am 07/09/2009.
We went to bed somewhat late, and both pretty much passed out when the phone rang at 12:39 am. It took a few seconds to realize it was my phone and it was going off since we was both in “la la land” at the time, so when I picked it up I saw the area code 778 and for whatever reason I thought “New York” and I don’t know anyone from that number, so fuck’em…. and went back to sleep.
When I got up at 8am and saw my voice mail I saw “British Columbia” (which is what I hate about the iPhone, it doesn’t say where the call is coming from, just the # that is calling if they are not on my list) and the only area code I knew from BC is 604, so the second I saw someone from BC called me I knew.
It was Diesel’s wife Liza and she she he died in his sleep. I called her and we talk for s few minutes and she told me we was the first people she called, so yeah, I totally feel like a piece of shit for not answering.
Still not sure when the viewing and funeral etc will be, but friends/family are starting to fly in from Japan this weekend as well as from all over the US and Canada, so we will be going up to Canada Sunday night and odds are we will be there for 3-4 days.
Right now I am waiting on the wife to shower so we can go find me something to wear, which if you know me, you know how I *HATE* shopping for clothes, so this will be fun, just love the idea of spending $ on something I don’t want and wont wear more than once.
I am still in shock somewhat, I am at peace right now knowing he is at peace, but the second I think of his boys, ages 7 and 5…
Fuck Off Cancer.
I miss my Brother.
