Tonight,as a change of pace,I am reflecting on the loss of a friend and fellow graduating classmate who died a few days ago.His funeral was today and I want to reflect today on the loss.
I have known this person from elementary school on up.We met at an elementary school that I transferred to and that was close to home years ago.We met and became friends that instant.
We went through all the way to high school and we both graduated together in the very same class.Him and I used to run into each other out in the community and when we did,we talked about a lot of things.We would talk and usually lose track of time and we would part ways and hope to run into each other again.
Today,I decided to visit at the funeral home and pay my respects and say my last goodbye to him.I talked with a few of his relatives and other people that I didn't know before until now.I talked with them for a little over half an hour and after leaving,I made a couple of stops before heading straight home.
When I got home,I changed out of my dress clothes and into my home suit.I then decided to pop a DVD in the DVD player and watch it while relaxing.
I am still feeling the sadness of the loss and I know that forever,I will always be feeling his absence.It is sad that I will no longer run into him out in the community ever again.I am going to miss those long talks that we had where we lost track of time and had to prat when we realized how late it was.Those times were fun.I am going to miss all of these things and I will always be wishing that he was still with us day after day,month after month and year after year.I will never hear his voice again and I will never see him again.I bid him a very fond and memorable farewell.Rest in peace my dear friend and fellow graduating classmate.You will always be sadly missed each and every day.
Tomorrow,I have church as usual.I am going to be doing another reading from the Holy Bible in front of the congregation tomorrow morning.I am hoping that my reading will go good and everybody in the congregation benefits from it.
As a result of the passing of one of my dear friends and graduating classmates,I am not going to discuss my BPD/Schizophrenia or my SSA struggles today.I will start over again in regards to those things tomorrow.
That was my day today and my hopes and plans for the day ahead.FJ
