e.clipse Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 passed away earlier this week. i found out now, just a few minutes ago. i feel so incredibly sad, you guys. this post is extremely difficult to write . . . i have been so busy lately, working until late every day, that i haven't picked up my phone to call her and see what's up, like i always do. that makes me feel terrible, because i feel like i am a bad friend for not being there for her. i am lousy; she is supposed to be my oldest friend--since middle school, back when we were 11--and look. what a shame. i just can't believe it. it feels surreal. i saw him not too long ago when i went to hang out with her at her house. he was sitting in his rocking chair, just like always, not saying much but making sure everything he did say was absolutely funny. he was just so nice. a man of few words, but with a gigantic heart. ha, i'd always feel so welcomed when i went to their home; they treated me so kindly, always. and now he won't be there. his rocking chair will be empty. and there will be no one to say the best jokes. his viewing is tomorrow. i feel awful.
Green Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 You sound like you care. I usualy have the oposite problem. When one of my friends close family died all I could think about was how an event we were set to do got cancled
Storyrider Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 When I was in HS, my best friend's dad died suddenly of a heart attack. He was young, in his forties. It was strange and awful. Sadly, her boyfriend at the time was too immature to give her any emotional support and broke up with her about three weeks later. I know your friend will be grateful to have you close by. Just be there for her and make sure she knows you care.
