(Background: One of my best friends at work (Bob) died last July.) As mentioned in another post, My retirement party was yesterday. It ended yesterday 40 minutes before a fruit basket arrived late at the restaurant for me. Today I found out the basket was sent by Bob's widow. The card on the basket saying, if Bob were still alive she knew he surely would have attended my party! (She knew we were close) My friend Fred who ran the party, had the basket that was delivered to that restaurant late, save it in their fridge.
Today, I met my friend Fred at the same restaurant, had lunch, and then took the basket home in my car, with tears in my eyes all the way home. It felt like My friend (Bob) that died was sort of with me in spirit. Very sad!

The loss of friends is one thing I just can't get used to as I get older. You have my support and sympathy, my friend.

Jives, I know what you mean, it stinks getting older. I just lost another friend
last Tuesday. (He would have been only 65 in March) We were supposed to get together in Florida next month to go fishing. Guess he's fishing in the big pond in the sky! :wah:

I lost my best friend 23 years ago and I still miss him. I have no doubt that Bob was there with you celebrating.

Hey Cars...Friends are people we love. They're sometimes more important than relatives. Let's say,, they're like your dog or cat or any pet you ever owned. EXCEPT they're real HUMAN beings. They are people who we truly love.
I am so sorry. I really am!
How blessed you were to know him.
He'll still be around to watch over you,
Just watch for him!

That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. You are absolutely right.
A friendship, a good friendship is a "10" in anyone's book.
There are honestly only a few really drop dead friendships we make in life and they are to be treasured!
