Again, I am very sorry about your friend, but I think you are probably not alone here in "encountering yourself" this past week. Some of us were not so close as you have been in personal life, but I think for an awful lot of us, we met the wee demon inside....for better or for worse.

Though it might temper your thoughts, I would hope that as time passes, you post what you believe and what you feel (on any subject) as you have always done. Let the encounter benefit you, but not silence your fine mind.
