The last time I spoke to Buck was Saturday. I was coming back from Kung Fu and we crossed paths in front of our homes. He asked me if I needed eggs. I said no because he just gave me 14 - my usual dozen plus 2 extra. He told me that Chelsea planned to take the chickens and ducks (I usually got a few duck eggs too) and he was thinking of getting his own chickens because they had built an efficient coop and he found it easy to maintain. He was in good spirits - at least it seemed so - how did I know he was going through so much?
I’d witnessed him when he hit rock bottom. He sat with me in our veranda and we talked. I remember when he passed out in the gutter in front of his house. We became closer during the pandemic because we both lost our jobs. I talked to Chelsea a lot too but we stopped corresponding when she moved out with their boy, Reef. They were a sweet Cruz family when times were good - young, strong, beautiful. But there was that dark side when Buck would drink and rampage.
I will sorely miss him. We weren’t that close but always friendly, always greeting each other warmly when he wasn't binging. And he seemed to have gotten control of that lately. He seemed healthier in the last few months, throwing himself into his yard work.
I spent a lot of today working on my mom’s stuff - finding documents, talking to caregivers, insurance, etc. Buck’s drama, plus the Roe v Wade news, on top of that made today so soul crushing.
And now the cops just pulled out. They left the light on at Buck’s…
