Please don't beat yourself up because you weren't his best friend; you were his friend and that is a great deal. It's obvious that you cared about him as you are grieving now.<br /><br />Recently, I became aware that the moderator of a radio program I have listened to since 1976 died in February. I've spent more than a few days mouring his loss as I felt he was almost a friend: he encouraged and comforted - he understood. I've also deeply regretted that I had not - once - sent him a note to thank him for his faithfulness in recording this program for so many years. Not a note; not an email; not a telephone call.<br /><br />I can't bring him back and "do it over", but I can be more thoughtful about thanking and encouraging those who remain in my life's circle - near and far.<br /><br />If you can resolve to learn from this experience that has brought you regret, your friend's life - and untimely death - will not have been in vain.<br /><br />God bless you for your heart and work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
