A toast to my friend

Thank you all for the support and love. Last night when I posted I thought I was doing well with it all and then it rather hit home. I had a really good cry and then a lot of little smiles from memories and just knowing he would have told me that my eyes and nose were puffy.

I will miss him, I will never forget him but I also will honour his memory by living life and letting go of his death and instead celebrate his life and our time together.

Thank you all again.
Heather

 

Sounds like he was a great guy and you were a great friend to him. Sorry to hear that he is gone, but I'm glad that the two of you met.

 

I am glad also e7m8

 

Rest in peace, Bob. I'm sorry for your loss.

 

Cheers for your friend Heather

 

That sounds like a great plan.

 

Bob is a pretty strong energy-force deal

 

I've had to go to three funerals this year, 2 that I wasnt all that close with, but close enough to feel it, so its kind of felt like one of those years.

The whole things all depressing from first hearing the news to the funeral and then after.

Its all fucked, more so if they go before their time

Depressing unfair bullshit and you ae supposed to feel really shitty

 

This was the second in a week. The third in two months. So I hear you.

I think what hits home a little more now is that it is our generation we are attending funerals for and it is a reminder that we are also aging.

Gracefully of course.

Thank you again to everyone for your support and kindness.
Heather

 

Sorry for your loss. Cheers to Bob.

 

Sorry to hear that Heather, may your friend rest in peace, and your memories of him console you

 

Tomorrow I will be taking Bob's ashes to the airport and he will be on his way to his final resting place in Vancouver. His daughter will meet the plane at that end.

Originally he was not going to be cremated here but it ended up being a legal and financial issue as to fly a body you have to have a coroner and a mortician at departure and arrival to ensure proper treatment of the body. Rules and all that. Bob would have been ticked at all the fuss.

The support from all of you has been so appreciated. It made me feel very blessed to have a community of people who are there when encouragement and companionship make an emotionally difficult time more bearable.

You really are the most wonderful people and I feel honoured that I have had the pleasure of conversing with all of you all these years.

Thank you
Heather

 

*hugs* Thanks for helping him get home safe.
