A letter to a friend I didn’t get to say goodbye to....
John,
Our time together was short, but that is no reflection of the importance and/or impact your friendship had on me. We bonded over repairing sprinklers and our friendship grew in the days to follow. You were someone who was easy to talk to, laugh with and solve the world's problems. And even though these things were not monumental in themselves, they strengthened our friendship and bond to what it became till the day of your passing.
There hasn’t been a day since your passing that something hasn’t triggered a memory of you, which brings a tear to my eye, sadness to my heart and reminds me that there is a hole in my life where there once was happiness and a true friend.
I wish I could say I understood why you had to be taken so soon, but I can’t, but I will cherish the memories we made, the fun we had, the long conversations...... and that will be my way of honoring you and our friendship.
You apologized for leaving me, and I never had a chance to tell you how I felt or say goodbye, so I look forward to the time we meet up again and I can share this with you.
Chris
