This is beautifully written.

Yes, it is amazing to me that with all of the social media platforms out there one can lose touch with people. Yet it happens. I try to maintain contact but some people do just fall away. I'm lucky to have friends from different periods in my life still out there keeping the connection going. However, there are many I think about that have seemingly left my life forever. In the end though that's part of life. Some people are only going to be there during key periods. We can miss them and/or say, "it was great to have had that time with that person" and leave it at that. Memories can be pretty powerful!

I see your pain as I’m living through something quite similar: 1 from car accident, 2 from aneurysms, 1- fall down steps, 2-cancer. Head and heart spinning. 💔

We always thought we would see them again. I am sorry for these losses. Jon

Yes we did and I’m sorry for how casual we were.

I feel for you…I’ve lost too many friends to count, all from death way too early.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Life just turns out world upside down when tragedies occur.. Sometimes, we take life for granted and end up hurting ourselves in the process. 🙏❤️
