I must
apologize for being AWOL recently. I try to post four times a month, but I have
been incapable of writing for a while. My business partner, and wonderful friend, Carlan, died a few weeks ago, unexpectedly. This man was part of my life, eight hours a day, five days a week for thirty-two
years. We laughed. We overcame obstacles, and shared both good and bad fortune.
During that time, we developed a kind of man-love usually found between
fellow soldiers who have faced death together in combat. There was nothing I would not do for Carlan,
and I know he felt the same way. A void now exists
in my heart, one that can never be filled, a place where his memories wait patiently
for moments when I need encouragement or, perhaps, just to a safe place to
hang out. Goodbye my friend. I miss you.
Losing a long-time close friend is never easy. I understand the gap, the feeling of a void, you feel. Hang in there and hang onto those memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. I know you have similar life experiences. Your empathy is deeply appreciated...Dean.
