I just found out a good friend of mine died this day. Massive heart attack. We called each other our cosmic twin because we would almost always answer questions with the same answers and loved a lot of the same things, be it movies, music, wine, supporting veterans, motorcycles, etc. He was 12 years older than me but we seemed to just click as friends.
I just needed to share this. Everyone I know is in bed asleep so there's no one to actually say this to.
Appreciate the time you have with your friends and family because they can be gone with their next breath. Or lack of one.
Wow, sorry to hear that americus. I've lost a lot of family, but I have yet to lose any close friends to passing. (some distant aquaintances, yes) I'd imagine it would hurt almost the same when it happens. Just another reminder to always let the people in your life know that they are important to you. You never know when someone's time is up.
Luckily, I haven't had to experience a super close loss yet in my life. Don't know how it feels, but I'm sorry for your loss.
Sucks when someone close to you dies. I watched when they pulled the life support from my dad back in 2005 and I can recall that day with vivid detail. You never stop hurting or missing them, but at the same time you can only cherish the good you came from it. Nobody likes their death mourned, but rather their lives celebrated.
Americus, I'm very sorry about the loss of your friend. For sure, each day is a blessing. Hopefully, the memories of your friend will help you in difficult times.
After seeing your thoughts, it reinforces why I have been spending plenty of time in the gym on average of 6 days a week. And if not in the gym, exercising in some other manner. It's essential for people to get a physical and find out what type of exercise and diet the doctor recommends in order to increase the odds of living longer.
Sorry for your loss.
I've lost friends and family, and it never gets easier. Those I was closest to are in my thoughts daily. It sucks to lose someone, but cherish the memories you built over the years. It can bring great comfort in times of need. Hold those who are still alive closer, and make sure they know how you feel. Live without regrets.
My condolences.
I hope you find peace on the other side of this.
Thanks everyone. He had heart surgery a few years back and literally got a new lease on life, but I guess it was only meant for a few more years.
A lot of my older friends (like my parents age, so 60-something) think I'm crazy for eating healthy and exercising (I go to the gym for strength training and cardio) and taking vitamins. I don't do it to live longer but to have a healthy life while I'm here. I don't want to be on 10 different prescription drugs by the time I'm their age and have health issues because I ate a bunch of southern food that clogs arteries and stuff and sat on my couch all day.
I wish I could say this will be a wake up call for others, but they're too set in their ways and think it won't happen to them. Speaking mainly about my in-laws. They're good people but so clueless.

I am sorry for your loss.
I have lost a lot of great friends over the years.
I"m sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy no matter how much time passes. I still talk to those who I've lost as a way of keeping them in my life.
