Having a bit of a weepy night tonight.
I found out this morning that my theatre and dance professor from grad school passed away on Wednesday. Brought back a lot of memories, happy and sad, remembering all the fun we had but missing all the folks who are gone.
Someone should warn you when you're a kid about how hard your heart can break and much harder it is to heal....

I have said good bye to more than a few good friends the past few years. I try to remember them as they were: young and full of promise. 
I'm so sorry for your loss KatyaR...I know how much it hurts. Weepy is good...it releases the pain and is the first step to healing.
I am having a bit of a weepy tonight myself over someone who isn't with us anymore.
It's really hard sometimes.
My two best friends I met in music school--they're both gone, many years now. I still miss them like it was yesterday. Today's news just brought it all back up to the surface. I've never been the same since my friends died, it's like most of me left with them. That's really hard for me to live with.
Big hug to you for still being here....
Sorry you're hurting.
