...Until It's Too Late

Posted by Castypher on Feb. 16, 2011, 9:27 a.m.

For those of you with me as your friend on Facebook, you may already know this.

You can never really imagine what it feels like to lose a close friend until it happens. And even though I found out as late as I did, I suspected something wasn't right, especially when his phone was shut off. I found his name in the obituaries last night, and though I had that nagging feeling in the back of my mind, I was near horrified to find I was right.

How people can fail to find the good in life is beyond me. I wish I had taken it seriously. Maybe I could've done something. Maybe I could've prevented it. It's always easy to think back at what you should have done.

Though you died young, rest in peace, old friend.

I normally don't do these sorts of blogs, but I wanted to pay my respects in one way or another. I'll take it down later if it causes a problem.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. It really does mean a lot.

I lost a friend last year. I still haven't accepted he's gone…

Sorry for your loss :(

Heh….

Funny thing is, that was only two weeks after my friend died. I know it was a while back, but imagine the surprise when I thought he was alive all this time that I hadn't heard from him.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Kilin. I hope you and his family are doing OK.

It's easy to feel like you could have done something when you lose someone. It's painful and you try and find a way to ease that pain which makes you think of things you could have done, when in all honesty you couldn't. I know this feeling. All I can say is that you will realise that you can't keep thinking of things you could have done and instead think of all the great memories you had with that person.

I've put off commenting on this because I never know what to say…

But I wish you the best. I know it's hard.
