Tomorrow is such a sad day for me
It is when I say my final goodbye
Your time on this earth has now ended
You’re going to join the stars in the sky
You were my best friend in childhood
We were together all the time
I loved spending time round at your house
And you were always welcome at mine.
Just like me you were clumsy
Always tripping over your feet
Once you gave me a piggy back
And we both fell over in the street!
You were always so very thoughtful
And every Valentine’s Day
You sent me a card and a present
Even when I moved away!
Our lives moved in different directions
And yet, we never lost touch
Always there in the background
Despite, not seeing each other much.
I know you told me your feelings
And we decided that we wanted to date
We went out together at the wrong time
And ended up just staying as mates
I hadn’t seen you for ages
Then bumped into you when I had gone out
We stopped and chatted like old times
Your life seemed all sorted out
I can’t believe you have gone now
And that I won’t see you again
But I have such wonderful memories
And with me they will always remain.
What a moving tribute to your friend.
Marie

What a beautiful tribute Judy. I’m sorry for your loss.It seems every death has a different way of hitting us. For me, the loss of a friend is a reminded of our own mortality because a friend is someone we share things with in a way that we could never share with our own family. ❤

I agree totally Debbie. He was only just over a year older than me, and always seemed so healthy. It was a sudden death too so pretty awful for his family.
