I just found out that someone I cared for very much has died. When I was 16 he gave me the job I so badly wanted at the movie theatre I worked at for years. I wanted to work there so bad that I made a book on why they should hire me. and I'll never forget what he said to me at my interview. He said to me "well, this was the third application she sent and she went to all this throuble, I'd better hire her!" He was so nice and just so fun. We immediately bonded over our love of theatre, and he was consitently the jester. When I started this job, all my travel took me to where he lived quite often and we got together for dinner or drinks or just to chat. There were eventually some kisses exchanged and it was shared that he thought I was cute, just as I had thought of him for many of my high school years. The crush on the older man, how cliche. But true. Last I talked to him he was seeing a girl quite a bit younger than him (surprise, surprise:) And tonight I found out he died, and I'm really really sad. He was wonderful, and fun, and smart and ridiculous. I will miss him.

Bummer. I get close to people really quick, and even if I'm not that close to someone, it still really hits me hard when they die.
Oh! I'm so sorry.
but everyone has to go that way, it's strange how they leave an imprint on our hearts or is it souls...
I stick with what bunny said...Bummer!
Sorry to hear that, hon.
Oh honey, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I hope you're hanging in there.
Master Yoda said, "Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not." Of course, he had a good 900 years of practice at this... We're relegated to subcumb to our feelings no matter how much we try. I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you all for such nice thoughts:) I'm mostly remembering all the fun times we had, but I have my moments...
