I’ve enjoyed asking and answering a lot of light hearted ‘just good fun’ questions on here over the last few months; I’ve also asked and answered some more serious ones. Here’s the most heart felt, sincere, most difficult one I’ve posted so far.
I’m loosing my best friend and my coping mechanisms haven’t kicked in. My friends poor, distraught dad told me on Saturday that she’s only got a couple of days left to live, her battle with her Cancer is coming to an end. She’s sedated and calm in hospital and understandably isn’t allowed visitors, apart form her family of course; I’m expecting the call anytime now to say she’s gone. Her family have asked me to say some words for her at her funeral; it is going to be an honor to do this for her and for her family. I want to support her lovely family and need some strength myself to be able to do this in the way I’d like. I miss her already, it doesn’t seem real. Wondered if any invisable ‘ciber pen pals’ out there might beable to help.
You have no idea how much you’ve all helped; so many thanks. To Zapgaia; I’m going to use your verse as part of my words for my friend at her funeral, I’ll be strong for her family. Thank you.
My friends dad called me half an hour ago with the sad news that my beautiful friend passed away at lunch time today. All I want to say to everyone reading this; is never waste a moment with your friends, always tell them how much you love them, never leave anything unsaid. My friend and I knew how we felt about each other; that is a comfort.
