I hope that you can find a hug somewhere and find peace in knowing that we will all be going through one day to another world. Maybe there is a better place once we are free of our bodies which become a burden to us.

What a shame to lose a friend, and especially to cancer. But two things to remember: first, nothing can take away the good times you had with your buddy or the loyal friendship you shared in his time of need; two, every act of care and kindness you share with his family and everything you do to lessen the suffering in this world redeems his pain and comforts you in your loss. Be strong; you're living for Barry, too, now.

Please accept my condolences, JJ2. I've spent most of this New Year transition holding my unconscious mother-in-law's hand while she's gradually slipping away towards death, it won't be very long now and at least she isn't suffering. Yes, of course it is sad, which loss isn't?, but she would be 100 years old next May, so she had an extremely long and very blessed life.
Losing someone much younger and who hasn't fulfilled all their potential yet and to such a ruthless disease, however, is always absolutely heart-breaking. I wish you strength and support from your loved ones, JJ2, it'll get better day by day, until you've learned to live with the loss. Perhaps one day you can name one of your sons Barry, my daughter is named after my best friend whom I lost to leukaemia aged only 35.
There simply doesn't seem to be any logic or sensible explanation as to why good or bad people die young or old, and it's at these times that I am a teensy little bit envious of people who are deeply religious and can find solace in their God. Personally, I'm more of the school of thought of "shit simply happens, and you never know what's around the corner, so enjoy life to the full..."

LJ is so right, we all need a tour!

Sorry to hear all this about your good friend.

I am tellin you, ....for all of us who made it out of 2008 not bankrupt, and alive we gotta feel relieved and lucky.

As we remember years out of our lives, this is one that really sticks out as everything being in the ditch.

So many sicknesses, financial crisis's, Gas prices (although now they are down), inflation ....the war still going ...makes you think that 2008 was not profitable at all. Yikes.

Once again, Sorry about your friend Barry.

Ian
