Sorry to hear that Harry, please don't blame yourself, I'm sure you were a great friend. One of my students, who I had helped a lot with depression, committed suicide in November and I find it almost impossible not to blame myself for not doing more, my heart aches every time I even think about it, but in the end there is no true blame, we are all just heartbroken that they are gone. My next door neighbour recently passed at the age of 85, she had been very kind to us and we shared 8 months as true neighbours, baking for each other, and we would help her out around home. She was a unique, and caring woman who's friendship really touched me in the short time I knew her, she was still driving a huge (she was barely 5") '65 Chevy impala till the day she died, God bless you Valerie

Matt
I'm sorry for your recent losses. Opposite ends of the age spectrum... and I'm sure both special in their own ways.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it means a lot. They were both such vibrant people, I just wish that my student had been able to experience as much as my neighbour did.

Harry and Matt,
my deepest sympathy on your losses. We have the memories of the good times to help us.
Harry, Don't blame yourself for this. I am sure that you did a lot and it was good thaqt you saw him around Christmas. These poor guys must have really been hurting alot to do this.
It is great that you are going up there to offer your support. I hope it goes okay for you.
Take care.

Thanks, Mr. Joe. The unit is drilling this weekend, but my cousin's wedding is today, so I will be tied up with that. I will go visit the unit on Sunday, and the funeral services are Monday, so I will go to that. Appreciate the warm wishes, everyone!

All the sorry's and kindness in this world doesn't help plain and simple ! We are Born and we live the life, we are given choices to make some are good and some are bad . But we should live for each and every day and be thankful for knowing, loving , and learning from those in our journey ! Yes, there is a miss and it is hard but we all must put on our big boy pants, or big girls pants on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And move on and teach those around us who have passed before us ! It may sound somewhat cold but it is the truth.
Also don't go blaming yourself for the crap that has happened. Number 1 you aren't the first and you sure as hell ain't gonna be the last ! Cowboy Up ! Tis along ride or a short one

! But there is always a God's Plan !
