Separate Roads

My dear friend Richard passed away. I'm so broken hearted I cried most of the day yesterday. He was such a wonderful soul. My kids really liked him too and I hated to tell them. It's so unexpected, you know? Just like when my Dad went, I was in such shock. Richard was not doing so great physically but he seemed to be getting better all the time. And his spirit was so vibrant that I never dreamed that it was his time to go. I will miss his mischievous smile and our long talks. He had good taste in music, the same as my dad, so I hope they meet up in heaven and Richard can tell him how I'm doing. Rest well, my friend, rest well. I'll see you someday. Thanks for being my friend.

I'm crying again so I'll write more another time. Just remember, we never know when it's the last time we're going to see someone so be kind, always be kind.

peace--ruthie
