It must have been a tough choice for them to make, leaving their life behind. But you know, despite his health, they are going to be glad to be near their kids again.

He sounds like a good man, and now he must be feeling pretty isolated. We have a friend who has diabetes and became w/c bound. I know he is a lot more upset about how the disease affected all his relationships than how it affected him physically. He's a people person who sits alone. Dh is one of the few people who still calls him regularly.

I know you'll keep in touch with these folks, and that will mean more than you know.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend.

sorry for your loss - remember the memories. Hugs!

Doyd, even though you won't be able to see them on a regular basis, please don't think that you've lost a friend; rather, you've merely gained some distance and have a new place to visit for all-chicks road trips!

My oldest friend of my life lives in Denver and my second oldest lives in San Diego, I still consider them both my closest friends. Technology has made all the difference and though it will be a little harder, you will still be great friends.

Sheesh, Doydie, I thought you said that your Friend died. I am so sorry for reading that wrong.

Nappy's right....hop on a bus, fogettabout us..
