Reminded me of one of my college friend we lost early. For almost a year, we went back to his Orkut profile and checked his messages or left messages on it.

Very well written. *Hugs*

Thank you!

And I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. A friend of mine at church lost her husband to colon cancer years ago and sometimes she will still leave him messages on his Facebook wall saying she loves him. I understand.
