I Received a Message about Labrada

She died yesterday, Thursday, sometime.  And today as I was at the Grocery Outlet and then decided to go have lunch, I walked into this Burger Joint called Patty's Diner.

I walked in.. and was so surprised.. It was just like Mel's Diner in Reno,NV.  Now I have to tell you about The Sands Hotel Casino...

I had tried and tried getting a job there. Never happened, though playing the slots, or having breakfast or lunch or Dinner there was what I did, with Labrada.  We would walk down there, since I lived a block away, and she lived 2 blocks away.

We would gamble, but Labrada always spent a lot more money than I did. I could not win, so my money always fed the slots..LOL.. We would eventually go into Mel's Diner and have a meal.. the music was the 50's and 60's, and we were able to put quarters in the small juke box at our table to play our favorite music. It was great.

And so as I walked into this small replica of Mel's Diner.. I sat down and started crying.  I ordered a burger and fries and The Real Thing... Coke..lol.. Hahaha.. I will always call it that.. I hardly drink sodas any more.. so it sure does taste good...

I ate, and then left and got on the bus back home.  I then got a message from my friend Patrick who lives in Reno, who got a message from Labrada's Daughter that she had died yesterday.  It was so funny.. in a way anyway.. that as I sat there weeping, I got on my phone and texted Patrick about how I am crying and all.. He told me to be happy that Mel's Diner was a great place we went to ..

At that time I had no idea she had died.. But, I have been weepy all day long,, and when I got that Text from Patrick .. I just was so sad..

So, This is the first friend of mine that has died.  I think I'm taking it OK.. a little weeping is fine.. and I'm sure I will be OK in the morning..
