What does everyone else do with dear friends that have died?

I have contacts in my phone with numbers that will never be answered, but I find it really hard to delete those numbers.

#AbsentFriends

I just heard that an old friend and colleague with whom Iโ€™d lost touch has died. There are lots of things to be said by people closer to them than I had become. But this person was kind, and classy, and creative. And by being all of that, they made the world, and so many other peopleโ€™s lives, far better. If you know anyone like that, tell them so.

Nothing hits you in the feels quite like dreaming about seeing a close friend across a bar, but when you approach they are no longer there.

Instead on the bar is their book of remembrance, and the event is their wake.

โ€œHopeโ€ is the thing with feathers
By: EMILY DICKINSON

โ€œHopeโ€ is the thing with feathers โ€“
That perches in the soul โ€“
And sings the tune without the words โ€“
And never stops โ€“ at all โ€“
And sweetest โ€“ in the Gale โ€“ is heard โ€“
And sore must be the storm โ€“
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm โ€“
Iโ€™ve heard it in the chillest land โ€“
And on the strangest Sea โ€“
Yet โ€“ never โ€“ in Extremity,
It asked a crumb โ€“ of me.

And then you look up, and 30-some-odd years have passed.

And a couple more of the people who were there for some of your life's more memorable moments are no longer there.

It just gets harder as you go on.
