One of my closest friends passed away this weekend… back in my hometown in PA. He was like an older brother to me and a mentor. I feel like a part of me has been ripped away and I’ll never get it back. He was a type 2 diabetic and had a lot of associated complications— retinopathy, heart disease, organ failure, etc. It’s very scary to me as we were a lot alike. I’m a prediabetic and I’m scared I’ll end up the same way. I joined a binge eating support group through my insurance and I really like it so far, the other members seem nice and I think there is a lot of really good work going on there. Once i can afford the final payment for my prescription insoles, I I will start exercising again as well. But this was a somber reminder for me that I really need to get my head in the game. I feel horrible about Kev, because he was a really amazing person in so many ways, and I wish he were still here. I don’t know… grief is a real *****.

I’m sorry to read about the sad loss of your good friend Kev, it must be a terrible shock for you, I hope in time you can take comfort remembering the happy times you had with him.

Thank you— yeah he basically had faith in me when no one else did. He also told me some hard truths that I needed to hear once upon a time, but in the most caring way possible. He really helped me become a better person in a lot of ways. I feel bad because I went back East fairly recently to celebrate my gran’s 100th birthday and he was out of the state that week. I wish we’d been able to connect; I hadn’t realized it would’ve been for the last time.

He sounds like a very special person in your life indigo, he’ll always be remembered.

There’s no way you could’ve known it would be the last time

So I was telling my pharmacy manager at my job about Kev, and she said, “write a letter to him.” I thought it was weird at first— I mean, he’s dead. But she looked at me and said firmly, “he’ll get it.” I know what I’ll be doing this weekend at least.

How beautiful. He will get the letter. I'm so sorry you lost your wonderful friend. I know how painful it is. This idea about the letter opens my mind to spiritual thoughts, & I remember the belief that we can connect with a loved one while we're asleep dreaming, & how can we be so sure that isn't real. I know your letter will be beautiful & you will cry (I'm crying now), but it will be a way to connect with him, & I have a feeling it will help your sad heart. God bless you, indigo. I'm wishing you good health & a healing energy of love.
