Last Friday I lost a long time friend. I was able to say goodbye. She went peacefully.
I just found out this morning that another friend and neighbor passed yesterday. It wasn’t expected. He had unusual bleeding so they flew him out to the big city hospital where they took him into surgery to see the cause and his heart stopped.
He leaves behind his lovely girlfriend who is physically dependent on him. She’ll need to find help right away to be able to stay in her home. His family is on their way now, so I think she’ll be ok for a bit. I’ll go down and check on her as soon as I compose myself.
He was so kind and giving. He helps to take care of the older gentleman that I do shopping for. Takes out his trash, does up his dishes, helps with some meals, gets him to the Drs. twice a week to check his burn scars.
When my daughter was pregnant we needed a drive to the city for a check up with the baby Dr. and he took us. He was always finding ways to help other people. He is so going to be missed. I’m really sad and really shocked.
I am sorry. My condolences. People die, that we do. If we know them closely or not. The planet keeps turning with or without us. We got to look forward. I kept my late friend in my memories.
