Reading the article, she was the parent of my friend Doug, from [the town where Doug lives], so I attended the visitation tonight. After not recognizing anyone, I asked a guy sitting on a green couch if Doug was around. The person asked me, &ldquo;Why, are you here to serve him?&rdquo; (I came straight from work). I laughed and said &ldquo;No, I&rsquo;m just looking for my friend.&rdquo; Doug was then pointed out to me, at which point I realized I was in an alternate dimension where someone with the same name as my friend had a parent die. I offered my condolences and left. At least my heart was in the right place. I may call non-bizzaro Doug and let him know I missed him tonight and that (hopefully) his mom is still alive.<br/></p>http://fyschebone.tumblr.com/post/180115591630http://fyschebone.tumblr.com/post/180115591630Wed, 14 Nov 2018 16:21:32 -0500lifeinthebigcitypuremichiganmatricidefuneralfuneral
