Yesterday ....
A gathering together of old friends, to mourn the loss of one of us.
To honor a life.
People who mostly haven't been together for four or five years.
People who once shared a great camaraderie.
Afterwards, for five or ten minutes, you lose your sorrow for your lost friend and it's like it used to be. Like we'd never been apart, never had our connection severed.
And then it ends.
Everyone goes their own ways.
And you're standing there feeling more alone in the world than ever.
This is what I hate most about aging ..... not the physical changes experienced, that can be dealt with but the end of friendships.
And thinking that the next time we come together, it will be because we lost another of us.
