My wife and I lost one of our best friends last year to cancer. She would have turned 50 this year. We know how you feel. It is still hard to deal with at times. But we have a nice picture of her and see her all the time and always think of her. Fortuneately, she knew how we felt about her. Make sure your friend knows how you feel about him too. It can help you in knowing that he knew too because it was said, rather than not. Losing good friends is the worst part of life that we have to deal with.
I feel for you. Its hard I know. Take Care and make your friends knows how you feel, it will make him feel a little better knowing.
