RindeeNov24 (2) - Copy.jpg He was a big guy, and I called him "Big-H" and he called me "Apple Cheeks", he said because of my big red cheeky smile, and every call or message would begin with "Hey Apple Cheeks!" He would pinch my cheeks playfully, laughing at how red they got lol! A longtime friend, so dear to me, whom I lost in October after a long illness, the new year will never be the same for me again. This New Year's Eve, I will miss something we had been doing for decades. At midnight, we would call, text or email, "We made it to another year!" He married, had kids, but never stopped communicating with me. I always had a crush on him, but I never had the chance to tell him.
On New Year's Eve, I will be sad beyond words. I will do the usual, eat snacks, watch movies with my 2 cats, listen to music, etc. When midnight comes, I am going to walk out in my backyard and find the brightest star in the sky, look up at it and think about him, and how much I miss him, I know I will be crying uncontrollably, and in my mind, I will hear him saying to me for the new year.... "Hey Apple Cheeks, ya' made it!" Rest in peace, I miss you Big H. Rindee

Thank you so much for your heartwarming message and love and hugs! I send to you the same love and hugs! Rindee!
 
Honestly I think losing your family and friends is one of the hardest parts of aging in addition to losing your physical abilities. My parents have been gone a long time and I have lost 8 good friends.

My closest childhood friend is now terminal and I’m going to visit her in 2 months. I can feel your pain and I totally understand.

This is so true Teacher Terry, and I, like you, have lost many friends this past year. I am so sorry for your losses; I do know the pain and sadness of this. I am also sorry about you closest friend, and her terminal illness. That is good that you are going to visit her, my prayers for your friend, and you for strength.
