I just got a phone call that someone, a close friend of mine died unexpectedly.
it's a shock, and I feel numb about it right now. I learned many many things from my friend...he was good with building, electronics, and would drop what he was doing to help a friend out...

don't you hate when shit like this happens?

i'm sorry about that.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss

Sorry to hear that
My friend dropped dead at 20 years old. He had just finished college and got a place at Oxford Uni (uk) to study to be a doctor. He had something wrong with his heart. It was awful, Very sad when people die so young

My condolences, BlackAdder.

How cool that you learned things from him. You honor him whenever you employ those things. What'd he teach you?

he taught me how to improvise when it came to building things...working with wood, metal, etc. he took apart an audi sports car and put it back together just to see what made it work. He taught me how certain electronic instruments work...stuff like that.
I lost spoke to him about 2 months ago, and he said that he wanted to get together for dinner...

Sorry to hear about your friend. One of mine passed away too last week and I was shocked as well.

My deepest condolences BlackAdder7... my thoughts are with you.

BlackAdder7 said:

Dude could rip apart and put back together a car?! Where can I find a friend like that!?!

...But, yeah, losing a loved one SUCKS. It's so damned disorienting, eh?! Forces you to reconfigure the cast of your life.

Good, however, that we don't have to deal with things like this alone. Do take care.

BlackAdder7 said:

YES, YES, YES.

i'm sorry to hear that. you know my sympathies goes out to you. Unfortunately these are one of the many unpleasant things life has to offers us. I'm trying to choose the right words in order to make you feel better, but i am failing, so i'll just say! i am with you in spirit.

My support and innocent love to you adder in this time. Glad you have that knowledge for the rest of you life. His legacy is inside you

I'm sorry about that. If you don't mind me asking, how did your friend die?

My heart goes out to you.

The good ones always die young. - WHY?

I'm sorry to hear that.
A friend of mine died last year of a brain tumor. I had talked to him and he told me was doing better- had gotten married and had a little girl, then he was gone. I completely understand.

It's hard, but treasure the memories you have...

My best friend died in 2005. I wrote about it here when it happened. It was super hard. I miss him terribly. He was 38.

My cousin who was like a brother to me had died a year prior. He was 37. Those were tough times for me.


Sorry to hear about your friend.

it's not known...he hadn't been to the doctor in years. Apparently he and some others were lifting railroad ties a few days ago and somehow they landed on him, or he somehow hurt his back doing so. He was not willing to see a doctor, and Sat. nite his sister (who shared a large house with him) heard a thud, and found him at the base of some steps..he was cremated

Ohhhhh, man!

Another testimony to the fact men need to quit being so ballsy and go get checked out regularly or when something like this happens.
