Rustic Rebel,

I seem to know somewhere deep inside that I will see my friends again. I can't prove that, so usually I just keep it to myself. The depth of feeling we have for those who have died is a clear reflection of the extent to which they have become a part of our being, thoughts, emotions and soul. There are those who will disagree with me, but I think I know better--at least for myself. I know you're not lookin' for sympathy. However, f I can be of help in the empathy department, send a message to me and we'll shoot the breeze. It would provide me the opportunity to return a kindness so many have offered and given me in times such as this.
