I will always love the movie “love, actually” because it turned a whole new generation on to God Only Knows, imho one of the most beautiful songs in existence
I saw Carl Loves version of the Beach Boys last summer. They had a video in the back ground going the whole concert. They weren't just big, they were huge, humongous etc etc. After seeing how popular they were from that video and I guess a Father who less than a good dad, I can understand why they turned out like they did.Brian Wilson. I'm too young to know how big he was in the Beach Boys, but all I can think about is... Drove downtown in the rain...
My dad has always loved Brian. I showed him how to get YouTube on the tv yesterday so he could sit and watch old videosI saw Carl Loves version of the Beach Boys last summer.

Also the reason I sing “I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.” whenever I merely think of Bill Nighy.I will always love the movie “love, actually” because it turned a whole new generation on to God Only Knows, imho one of the most beautiful songs in existence

Sorry for your loss.Last week I said good-bye to a friend who passed away from ovarian cancer. I've been tying to pull my thoughts together for the past week. I'm struggling a little. I met her when her son entered BU to play hockey. I recognized the last name as someone I was in junior high school with. At the start of the season, at the player parents welcome dinner, I brought my junior high yearbook and went up to her husband and asked "Is this you?" Turns out, she was also from my hometown and we became good friends. That friendship grew even after her son graduated. She even came to the Emmy Awards with me a couple of times.
Three years ago she told me she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She went through treatment, it took some time but she got through it. Given that it was during the pandemic, she erred on the side of caution and kept her circle close with just family so I didn't actually see her in person over that time but we texted a lot. She was the person I would text during every BU game. She had mentioned to me she had to continue with chemo a couple more times over the past couple of years but never let on it was serious in any way. I saw her pictures traveling with her family, assumed she was dealing with it all. Last time I texted her was on Mother's Day. She asked me how my mom was doing, and when I checked in with her, she said she was OK, but going thru chemo again. I didn't follow up. It was the last time I heard from her.
Wednesday morning I got an IM from a girl in my department who used to the the team manager when her son was on the team. I got her a job at my company. This girl sent her condolences because she knew we were friends. I was stunned. She had no idea I didn't know. I found her obituary online, saw that she passed away on Saturday the 14th and noticed that the funeral was that morning. I quickly got dressed and went. I'm just so heartbroken. Mad at myself for not keeping in touch more. Why didn't I reply to that text? I hate that I didn't know. I feel like I was a terrible friend. I'm also thinking about the way the universe works. I had planned to text her last Monday to see if she wanted to go the Red Sox game with me but I didn't. What if I had? And I had planned to go to the office on Wednesday but I decided to work from home. If I had not done that, I wouldn't have been able to go to her funeral. She was such a wonderful person. I'm really going to miss her. F@ck Cancer.![]()
