Today I helped bury a friend, and in a few minutes I'll be leaving to attend the Wake of another, who died yesterday.
I have less than a handful of friends from pre-exJW days (nothing new there - we're all in a similar boat, I'm sure), so my more recently acquired friends are precious to me.
For those that I count as friends (which obviously includes a number on this board), please let it be known that you are precious to me.
I've helped bury about six, during this last year (I hope that doesn't put anyone off from befriending me). Every one has been like a hammerblow
Regardless of beliefs, or lack thereof, death is still an enemy to the living and the dead (IMHO).
With that sombre note, I must away...
