im sorry to say, the one and only mookie, a.k.a. ‘the lion’, a.k.a. ‘mookie no one knows how big and strong you are’, passed away last night.
he developed a tumor over the last couple months and though he luckily did not suffer much during most of his sickness, he finally gave in. those of you who knew him will be happy to hear that he was his true self almost until the very end, hungry and obnoxiously loving. i never did get to say a real goodbye to him, as he got sick after i was last home, but i think he knew how much i love him. i went through a lot with mookie, i remember thinking (and telling him) that he was the most reliable friend in the entire world, im sad to let him go.
much love mookie, hope they got enormous bowls of after-cereal milk wherever you’re headed.

i’ll be sitting shiva all week here in glasgow (gentiles welcome).
