Hospitals were overwhelmed, and when she started getting sick, there was little chance of her getting the care she needed. I could only attend her funeral virtually. I remember being a quiet teenager, hiding from the rest of our extremely sociable family in Eileen's cabin one summer at Big Bear. She watched Blue Bloods reruns with a glass of Johnny Walker Red, talking through the show. \nShe never made me talk, never told me I was missing out, but welcomed me in without expectation. I showed up early every day. Over the week she managed to get me so comfortable that I started making fun of her crush on Tom Selleck's mustache. Every time I saw her after that, it was like being with my best friend. It's cheesy, but her favorite song was Build Me Up Buttercup. I'm still angry at how we lost her, and I'd love to hear that song this morning.\n\n\nJoey in Redmond", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
