Memorial Day 2024
Posted: Mon May 27, 2024 4:27 am
Another year has passed, and in retrospect, I reflect on the losses of the past year. Last year, was absolutely devastating for me, personally. I lost my best friend of 46 years. I lost 7 friends I worked with, played in bands with,and socialized with, most of my life.
I just found out, yesterday, that 2 guys I graduated with, died in January and February. These weren't close friends,but, they were friends I hung out with, on and off, for many years.
So, the " body count" is at 10. I understand that as we get older, we loose people. But this is ridiculous. My best friend didn't have any viewing,and was cremated, 2 days after he died. There was no closure... he was just "gone". His girlfriend has his ashes, but, she doesn't know when or if, she will ever, have a memorial. Most of the other friends,opted to have no viewing, or were cremated, so, no closure at any of these.
So, here I am. I've not only lost ALL my family members, I pretty much now, have lost all my friends. And don't ANYONE say, " You need to go make new friends "
Good Luck with that one.....
Life sucks... Then you die....
Happy Memorial Day
