In among the bills for this week, the news I'd been dreading: Joost passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 18th. He was 45 years old.

It was love that had given him the strength to withstand his illness for the last 10 years, and at the last, it was love that gave him the strength also to let go.

I'm sorry to hear that. He certainly fought.

[gamiila]

He did that...His strength of character was amazing, and exemplary.

I am so, so sorry. *hugs*

Thank you, and for the hugs.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your friend

[gamiila]

Thank you. Even though his death was not unexpected, it has still come as something of a shock.

*hugs you tight* I'm so sorry.

[gamiila]

Thank you. He was an amazing person in my life, and I'm grateful and honoured to have known him.

There are no words... and yet in this medium words are all we have - so suffice it to say that I realise how much this means to you, and I will be thinking about you and his family.

Thank you. It's hard to lose a friend, but I know he's at peace and free from pain now. He's fought so hard, so long, and so bravely, but in the end he couldn't win.
