I'm sorry for your loss, Kim.

This has to hit home, given we have the same affliction, and I understand this will stir up lots of emotion. I lost a friend to PPMS in late 2007, and it broke my heart too.

RIP, Don. No more pain.

Hugs to you, your husband, and Don's family.

Cherie

Thank you.

The weird thing is that I can't seem to stop crying about it, about him. And the even weirder thing is that I have been crying over caramel corn.

We visited him on Christmas Eve and took him a tin of my homemade caramel corn. I didn't go in because at the time I had bronchitis and didn't want to get him sick. I wish now I had, I feel a little cheated that I never met him. About mid January we recieved his annual Christmas letter. He mentioned our Christmas Eve visit and how much he loved the caramel corn. I immediately went out and bought the ingredients to make more for him. I never got around to it.

I wish I had made the time.

oh kim,

i'm sorry for the loss of your husband's friend, and yours.
you may also be grieving a bit for yourself out of fear that you will be sicker too. ? but, remember that he had a different form of MS.

your friend sounds like he made peace with his illness and was ready to go with God.

God bless.

Hey Kim~ So sorry to hear about your DH's boss and friend. It's never easy when things like this happen. We have lost 2 dear friends in the past week. I think your posting about your feelings here, helps you to work through your emotions. Isn't that a great thing about NT??

Just remember that you DID take him some caramel corn that he enjoyed and remembered; it's not what we don't do for people that is appreciated; it's what we DO for them. I also don't think you have to personally meet someone to call them ''friend'', you were friends.

Take care of yourself, Kim and please tell your DH how sorry I am for his loss, also.
