I lost a friend today.
Not a good friend, but someone I spoke to, someone I knew.
I didn’t know her family, but I do know her friends.
The shock of it…..I’ve been so used to a risk-free life, I almost forgot the protocal.
In the Sandman, numerous people, from a millenia old quasi-immortal to a one year old taken in it’s crib ask Death the same question: “Is that all I get? Is that all there is?”
She smiles that smile of hers and gives each of them the same enigmatic, mona lisa answer:
“You got a lifetime.”
A lot of people died today. I’m just not pleased one of them was one of mine.
Lyric:
Underneath the chilly grey november sky
We can make believe
That kennedy is still alive
We’re shooting for the moon and smiling
Jackie’s driving by
‘hey hey, good-bye…’
My deepest sympathy, and condolences.
In the past few years, two people that I have known have died. And every day my family lives in fear that my brother Nick will not come home. I’m sorry that you’re going through something like this. Take care.
I’m sorry about your friend.
I am so sorry for your loss.
hey man. i’m sorry for it.
I’m sorry…
I’m sorry, man.
I’m so sorry to hear it. It’s always hard, no matter how well you know a person….. 🙁
