Maybe it changes as you age? Maybe it is the friend that you spend the most time with? Maybe it’s the friend who makes you feel the best about yourself? Maybe it’s the friend who you have the most in common with? Maybe it’s……..What?
Mine left on February 1st. We had been together for 60 years. We hadn’t spent as much time together as some other friends we but always knew where each other were and got in touch as needed. Sometimes it was me and sometimes it was him. He was the guy who I could always count on to help me sort something out or let me know that I was so off base as to be totally fucked and he would say it. “Dude. You are so totally wrong. You are fucked. Think about it”. Something that you don’t accept or tolerate from normal friends. Hopefully, he felt the same.
Most of us have a few key figures in our lives to grieve when they leave this Earth. Our Parents. Our Siblings. Our Spouses. Our Children. Our Friends and Acquaintances and our Best Friends.
RIP Mel……..
