Last words from a wonderful friend

[scorpionrose914]

This is the second time I have been in Florida since Mike died... but the first time was just for his funeral.  I have been trying not to dwell on his absence, but it has been killing me inside nonetheless.  It's hard to let go of such a wonderful part of my life.. and all of the things that only he and I shared.  I can't help but want to stay out

Emily...
Since the minute you got here, I've felt better. But you, and only you, can realize what I mean when I say "it's horrible without him here." I've also felt a twinge of sadness upon seeing you. I associate you with Mike and special times only the three of us did share. Of course, if it wasn't for you, I would never have met him. And I would have missed out terribly. I will always regret not going to that concert with you two in Jacksonsville in 2004. Mike wanted me to go, and so did you, but I didn't. Such regret.
His death has affected many of the choices that I now make about my future and what I choose to remember about the past. Even though you have experienced loss that echoes much more deeply and painfully than mine, I believe I can still relate...You know I do. Sometimes I feel like I'm crying for both of us when it hits me so hard. I love you and you will always, always be my best friend.

Emily, you once told me that most people who would tell me to "get over it" have obviously never felt the deepest of human emotions. I think about what you've been through and accomplished, and it awes and saddens me. Dont ever, ever think you are weak, and dont let anyone talk down to you. you are one of my strongest supports, and i know you need someone to lean on as well. i hope at least sometimes i'm half as supportive to you as you've been to me. I dont know if you know, but i see through your shell more than most living people can. I guess what i want you to know is that you will always have at least one person that would shoot down the pope for you.
