Wow, so many VIP's dying in the last few days.

I don’t know about VIPs…but I had to say goodbye to a dear friend today…

I have been going over to his house to spend some time with him. He could not speak but held my hand tightly and nodded his head when I asked a few questions or made silly jokes.

Today, on my way over, I got a call from his sister that he had passed away… I was only 30 minutes away when I got that call.

It was just six of us…his closest friends, his sister, and the lady that has been taking care of him…

Before they took him away we opened a bottle of wine, got seven wine glasses out a poured some wine. One glass by his side night table.

We had already said our goodbyes days before, so this time it was all about celebrating his life. Thanking him for all he contributed to our lives, we shared some funny moments, as much as I tried not to, even cried a little… but it was of joy as he suffered no more.

I hope to have a friend this good when I go.
