The thought of you walking back and forth, alone, breaks my heart. You were there for him and I am certain you were in his thoughts until he passed. I am thankful my wife is here for me and I know that he felt the same.
Abracos e beijos! That’s what friends in Brazil tell each other when they part company. It means, hugs and kisses.
How gut-wrenching! What finality.
Abrazos y besos from way south of you. Spanish for the same.
Thank you to everyone who posted (and some who 'lurk' here)
Been trying to get back to 'normal' since his passing. Trying to post here and there...
It's not easy.
I think of him daily. I remember the times we had...I've done things alone that we used to do together. And something 'grips' me in the pit of my stomach when I do...
...kind of like, "This is WRONG! He's not HERE! I shouldn't be doing this without HIM!"
And yet...
I KNOW that he'd want me to go on without him. My Christian faith has me believing that he's not TRULY "gone". And that I WILL see him again.
He was a great, WONDERFUL guy...the kind of guy you'd meet in a Subway...or at a bus stop...or a casino...or standing in line while trying to pay a bill...
I recall wandering "downtown" with him in his wheelchair. He would 'roll' up to someone, and just start talking to them. "How's your day going?".........and he'd actually be interested in hearing about their day...offering advice, or a few kind words ("don't worry...you'll get through this...)
To me, the world had a GREAT soul when he was here...and because I'm Christian, I think that Heaven now has an asset.
Again, thank you all for posting. (((HUGS))) to you all.
I've posted about my friend before. For those who don't know, he passed away in March.
I miss him tonight. Terribly.
Thanksgiving is coming up. Last year, his daughter sent him a whole feast from Harry and David's, for the two of us. So sweet of her. I just shake my head, because neither one of us knew that it would be his last Thanksgiving...
I post on here and I want to tell him about it. I pray, and I want to tell him about it. I've already planned out my Thanksgiving meal, and I want to tell him about it, because I want to share it with him.
My mother was hospitalized last Thanksgiving and passed on Dec. 7, while planning our Thanksgiving dinner which never took place, I never thought a few weeks later I would never see her again. I still have the canned sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc, that i was going to make for us, I can't bring myself to open them now.
This Tuesday is my first birthday without her in 70 years and I'm having a hard time with it, my neighbors are having a little get together for my birthday tomorrow and I have to put on a brave face and try to enjoy myself without her. I know nobody will ever care about me like my Mom did and I don't understand why she had to be taken from me, I feel so empty.
Sorry about the loss of your best friend, your post is a very sweet tribute to him.

I don't know why I'm writing this.
He was my best friend.
Sweetie, I miss you............
Tell him. Talk to him. Some say we have a spirit that lives on after our bodies die. It does not hurt to talk to him. Just do it. It will help you.

I empathise. We do not deal with death very well in this culture. It is very uncomfortable for most people. They are eager for the bereaved to "get over it." I know there are some losses we never "get over," though. If you have at least one person with whom you can discuss this type of loss, you are very fortunate. I do not think you will "get over" losing your mum. As time passes, you will be able to cope with the loss a bit better, but damage is never repaired.

This. I truly believe that he is there with you. Talk to him.
So sorry for your loss.
Hugs to you, also to you, wp169.
