So Bailey's making his rounds eh?
Good not to "go on" with that negative thinking...let's try and turn those thoughts around? That's great that you have 2 friends...do they text, skpe, email... what about setting up a lunch or dinner together for the near future (or even once a month schedule?)
I agree with "why beat a person who is already down" so stop it!

None of the negative thoughts you're sharing is doing you any good, nor do they change anything, right? God doesn't take things away from us like that...it could be nature (how old is Bailey?) or he's got a list and he's checking it twice (for offspring in the future). Your neighbor did see him
