Believe me, I can relate to a tee as my friend Rory was such an integral part of so many parts of my life, that I'm right where you are. Frozen in place with no real desire to move on from here.

Please know my tears are shed in full understanding of this incredible loneliness and I wish I had an answer for either of us other than it took decades to build a relationship of that quality, so to expect a replacement in days or weeks would be silly.

God Speed Ziggysmom, Happy New Year to you as well. Fingers crossed
