This one is sad.

It sounds like he maybe felt unseen, but he was clearly seen from how you tell his story. But sometimes we don't communicate to those we love that we see them. As my mom says, don't give me flowers when I'm dead, if you do, do it while I'm still here and alive. We can't always repay those that complimented us, but there's big reason to try. And as a prior alcoholic, drug addiction and overdose sounds like a partial sickness of despair, of not feeling seen.

The way you're honoring your friend Tim both through sharing this story and by pursuing your dreams is so beautiful. Keep going, Leslie.
