Linda just told me it's been 35 years today since a friend died.

Glen was a good friend that died too young. And where does the time go? And now I'm feeling old and nostalgic, with a sad smile thinking about them good old days.

The older you get, the faster time goes. I mean, where did this month go?

I had friends and colleagues that died in the mid 80s from AIDS. Hardly seems like it’s been 40 years! Young vibrant souls that were taken so young! Hardly seems fair that I’m still around and they are gone. Sometimes I miss them terribly but I cherish the good memories. Give Linda a hug for me.

the time just goes by! It's been about a year since I found out a friend had died. I'm not quite ready to smile when I think of her but I know I'll get there. We shared a love of dogs and since I am looking for new dogs I think about her every day now!

Thank you for remembering your good friend.
