Hey,
I learned yesterday I lost a friend. He passed on in his sleep. He was my age. Damn I thought he would out live us all.
I'm troubled by this in so many different ways. He was one of the good ones. He understood his faults as a person and was trying to change and reconnect the good parts of his soul with his actions. He was the most amoral person I knew and the most ethical. I should explain - morals are socital based. He held to a higher standard. He was my age. He was a friend I lost touch with over the years because life pulled us a part.
I missed him, I thought I would reconnect with him eventually. I asked about him from friends that knew him. The comment was the same. He's working - I have not talked with him in a while.
The words of a funeral praise the individual far after the point that they will hear it. Perhaps today. Tell them.
I know others knew him better.
I knew him.
I miss him
Now - I know I've missed him.
I hope he finds peace.
