Agememnon Busmalis and Bob Rebadow in “Impotence”

ABAgememnon Busmalis

Hey. I'm real sorry about little Alex.

You know, you try to prepare for a death, but always secretly you believe there's a chance that the doctors were wrong, that they'll find a cure, and that as long as he's alive there's time. So, while you think you're stealing yourself, all you're really doing is waiting on the miracle, which is why, when death comes, it's so horrible, because you realize...you weren't prepared at all.

ABAgememnon Busmalis

I never really liked this hat, but now that he's passed away, I understand this hat. This was my Grandson at his most alive.
