The End

Rex Shelby passed away on July 4, 2019.

Even now, eighteen months later, I find it very difficult to write that sentence. He was one of the great loves of my life – and still is. I miss him every day. Every hour sometimes.

I like to think that I knew him well enough that he still exists in my head. When I am sad or curious or happy – really whenever I need him – I like to think that I know what he’d say. In this way, he is still very close.

But I miss him desperately.

I told him when he went into the hospital that I’d give him a lung if he needed one. I was serious. I also offered a kidney. He didn’t ask.

Rex participated a great deal in this blog; he loved it, actually. He wrote most of the posts toward the end.

The Enron story is over, I think. Jeff is home. Rex has died. This year it will have been 20 years since Enron collapsed. I won’t be writing about it anymore; without Rex, it just isn’t that much fun. I will keep the blog up so maybe someone will find it useful. I can still be contacted at blog dot cara nospace ellison at gmail.

I’ll say goodbye now.
