two irreplaceable friends have died this year from cancer. one older than me, one younger. one female and one male. one from childhood, the other adulthood. one nearby, the other miles away. one worked to save lives and the other for the dignity of those lives. one i said goodbye to, the other i did not

so sorry for your loss honey. Life is indeed a fleeting thing.

I need a little more time to absorb these fully, but for now... beautiful. You capture the emotion so well.

[imperialfriend]

thank you both, so much. the heaviness i feel is so much less than the joy of having loved them.

[fishmakestwo]

Yes. This.

I have to remind myself of this, each time.

We are so lucky to have met anyone on this Earth and been given the chance to love them.
