I'm sorry I didn't see this till now but offer my sympathy and empathy. I lost my best friend (of 50+ years) in 2020. I still remember the day we met. She was seven years older than me and yet we clicked immediately. We talked for hours that first night and stayed close in our hearts (if not in location) over the years, loads of phone calls, letters and precious visits. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died less than two months later. I miss her so much even though there's still a conversation between us going on in my head. That's easy as I can pretty much predict what she'd have to say about anything. I treasure my memories of our friendship.

I think I know something of how you feel. May Paul's memory always be a blessing for you.

Thank you my friend.

Passage

When the day comes
And I am forgotten
Whereby trees have grown
And been felled
Moss grown on crumbled stone
Rumors of my passing
Faded away by decades
Even centuries long past
Who will know of my struggles
My loves and my deeds
Will my words have meaning
My songs still be sung
Tales of my passage
of that era long ago
Was I worthy
Who will know

Until then will I pray
For the strength to love you
Before they hew me down
Take my hand my love
Walk with me awhile
Take heart for the time we share
On the earth among the stars

As long as there are two left in this world who remember you, you will live on.
I expect you will live on long past your days.

I adore you. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever.
