I have not been to the I-94 Riverside Avenue off ramp since August 24 of last year. I went to it eight times that day, but have not been back since. I do not take that exit, and if I drive by I look away as I go by. For me, it is a place of sadness and death.
Tonight is the first anniversary of Ped's death and I will visit the exit ramp tonight at 11:08 to pay my respects.
Each day at the restaurant I am reminded of Ped's life and how he lived. I haven't slept for three days now thinking about going back tonight to where he died.
Ped, I still miss you every day.
