First off, I'd like to say I'm very sorry for your loss and I send my condolences. I'm unsure if this is a relative, friend, or just a companion, but I am certain from reading your words he changed your life and you created many memorable moments.... This was such an emotionally-packed write and I feel the agony, just the surface of it, because I can't fathom what you're going through. I know most of us on here have lost a loved one, no matter if they are related or not, and I feel like it's impossible not to ask that question "why?" and praying for one more day....

You have such strength and courage, I can tell from this write and I hope you know you're not alone. Stay strong and it sounds like you are blessed to have this person's memories and friendships with you alongside your journey of life.

Take care & keep writing.

Beautiful poem, when we gain a soul on earth surely someone somewhere must lose one. And when we lose a friend here someone somewhere must gain. The cycle of life is a mystery, all we know and all we've learned leaves us asking questions. It is in us to search and ask, I enjoyed your write.
