    i have lost a half dozen friends/family in the past decade all way before their time as well as a really cool co-worker last month and it never gets any easier.

    just remember all the good times you had together and celebrate his LIFE instead of dwelling on the death.it helps! and in time your wound will heal.

    take care and be strong.

    Hope he' s livin' it up at the Great Gig in the Sky, brother.

    If you believe like I believe, then his spirit will be back again for another go-'round.

    All is one, and one is love.

    This one's for you:

    "With every breath, awakened regrets
    Back pages and days that only could've been spent
    Together, but we were, miles apart
    Every inch between us becomes light years now
    No time to be void, or save up on life
    Oh, you gotta spend it all"

    Makes the whole "I couldn't get EV tix, I think my world may end" mindset seem utterly ridiculous and idiotic. Death is the quickest way to put Life into perspective.

    Was it some sort of accident, or had he been ill?

    Proof that none of the bickering in here will EVER amount to anything.

    This is the kind of thing that puts it all in perspective. Way too young.

    I am so very sorry for your loss.

    I found comfort in ComeBack when my daughter passed away.

    "I swear that your next to me. And It's OK"

    Here's to hoping that it comforts you as well.
    Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
    Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

    But his heart don't seem to roam......

    He was only a year older than my son. Constant recoil, sometimes life just don't leave you alone. So sorry for your loss. Be strong and hold him close in your memories.
