I had a dream that you were alive

I dreamt about you this morning. I dreamt that you were alive. God, it seems like yesterday when I got a phone call that you were dying of a brain tumor. That was about 10 years ago. If I had known, I would have come by to see you. I would have made you laugh talking about old times, the wild parties we used to have at your apartment, the trash can filled with raw grain alcohol punch.... I have pictures of you in my wedding party. I don't think you ever got married or had children but you did break a lot of hearts. I remeber your beautiful eyes....You were a big part of my youth and I still cannot believe you're gone. I could see you so clearly in my dream. It's too bad we lost touch when I married. Even your close friend, my now ex-husband didn't keep in touch with you. I called him to tell him you were dying, but it was too late. I believe you had died that very day.

I searched through the Toad's Place website to see if they had any reference of you - were you "the Duke"? I didn't see any picutures or anything. Just wanted you to know that you may be gone but not forgotten, Keith Dupke. I'm thinking of you....

I probably hadn't thought about Keith in 10 years. Today joking about stuffing a turkey with a Sally's pizza I thought, that is something Dupke would do. Sad he is gone.
