I lost a friend

I lost my best friend this week, no he didn't move or get mad at me..he died.  I cried, I remembered the good times and the bad, but most of all I just missed him and wanted things to be back to the way they were.  Of course we know that cannot happen but we always long for one more visit, one more
conversation or smile or wave.

So immortality rears it's ugly head again and reminds me that time moves on and people close to you
leave your life.  Once again I make the commitment to stay in touch to make more time for the people in my life, and then reality sets in and things get busy, and I say to myself .. tomorrow I will make time tomorrow.

What if tomorrow never comes?  That's a song yes I know that but it is fitting to keep me mindful
of the people in my life.  Yes the hurt will go away, time is supposed to heal all wounds, well that's
baloney.  I will remember my friend often, think of him and smile or maybe cry a little.  One things
for sure I will never ever regret that he was in my life.

Because of him I have memories that I will never forget, I have new friends that he introduced me to.
I have been to places I would have never been too because of him.

Thank you my friend, I will miss you.
