It’s been 10 days since I learned that an old friend of mine passed away. I’ve been ruminating a lot on the last 10-20 years - time spent with and without him actively in my life.
In addition to being one of my best friends, Greg was also my first big love, my high school boyfriend, and band mate.
I fondly remember riding around town in his Dodge Shadow as he sang The Beatles’ “Two of Us” to me. The countless hours watching Anchorman and This Is Spinal Tap. Seeing the inspiration for his Abe Lincoln tattoo happen in real time and then being with him when he got it. So on brand for him.
I cannot tell you how much fun and laughter we shared together as friends, as a couple, and within our group of friends. Through Greg I found an extensive collection of friends - his social network was huge. People loved him. I loved him.
He helped reinforce my love for The Beatles and classic rock by sharing his music collection for me. He even paid for my first tattoo - The Beatles logo on my left forearm! For years I’ve contemplated covering that tattoo with something else…how grateful I am now to not have made that choice. I get to keep a small part of Greg with me for the rest of my life.
Though we hadn’t spoken in many years, I thought of him often. He was with me during some of the hardest and most devastating moments of my life. We had a stubbornly complex relationship and I regret many things that were left unsaid. I hope he knew how much I cared about him and how much he meant to me…even now.
Love and miss you always, Greg.

Longer than the road that stretches out ahead”
i dont know what i’d do without you now
I’ll be living one life for the two of us
The Two of Us (1967) is one of the New York Times 1,000 Best Films.
Leslie Camhi wrote in Village Voice “Some may find Berri’s portrait of provincial France and its prejudices too loving, but it has the ring of a truth that escapes ideologies.“
My rating - unseen
The Two of Us premiered Mar 11, 1967 in France, Jun 67 in Berlin, and Feb 19, 1968 in the USA. I have seen it and it is an honorable mention to my best 1,001 movies.

This is Michel’s third honorable mention, after Boudu Saved from Drowning and The Train.

Two of Us (2000) but it’s a romcom trailer
Police: put your hands up if you’re guilty of being too cute, too strong, and too inspirational for words
Louis:
The Two Of Us video inspired me so much. You have such a beautiful soul, Louis, and you and Richard’s stories both made me want to cry for the rest of my life and do as much as possible in life, living it to the fullest extent. I’ve always lived on the safer side of life, not taking any big risks, but Jay, Fizzy, and Pat’s stories make me want to do more. Accomplish big things. Live, laugh, and love, as the saying goes. And then there’s you, Louis. You’re my role model, the person I look up to. When I make a big decision, I think, “What would Louis do?” It sounds cliche, but it’s true. You and your beautiful soul inspire millions day by day. You help everyone hang on to their lives and get them through things, as hard as it might be. “Time will heal it,” others say. “It’ll hurt, but live life for them,” you say. You’re our rock, and we’ll do our best to be your in turn when you need us. We love you, Louis William Tomlinson. Always and forever.
WHAT THE FUCK HIGHKEY SOBBING HARRY STOP MAKING ME EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE
I SWEAR TO GOD FETUS LOUIS HAS MY WHOLE HEART IF HE ASKED ME TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF I WOULD BUT THEN RIGHT BEFORE I HIT THE GROUND I’D BE LIKE WAIT WHY TF DID I JUST DO THAT

According to several news outlets, Felicite was found dead in her apartment due to a heart attack/cardiac arrest. The paramedics were called and attempted to resuscitate her, but to no avail. She was pronounced dead.
Words honestly cannot describe what I’m feeling right now. It’s slowly starting to sink in that she’s gone forever, but it hurts me so much. I can’t even begin to imagine how much Louis has gone through. As soon as he releases a song about Jay’s death because he feels strong enough, the world throws another obstacle at him. The Tomlinsons have gone from a family of nine to one of seven in two years - no one in the world deserves this.
Please, please, please, respect the Tomlinsons at this time. The twins are too young to understand, but Lottie, Louis (especially these two - they were the closest to Fizzy in age and friendship), and of course the younger twins, Pheobe and Daisy need their privacy. Respect the Tomlinson family during these times. Please don’t tag them in any posts, don’t send in rushed dms, every reminder of her passing just renews the wound.
Louis shouldn’t have to live life for the three of them. We, as fans, should shoulder the pain. Show them as much support as you can without hurting them or being overbearing, they deserve it.
Rest in peace, Felicite. You’re with your mum once again.
