I just got news that a close family friend died last night.
He just went into hospice over the weekend so we knew that he didn't have long, but it is still a shock.
I feel really bad for my mom. She & made dad made friend with this man & his wife probably 50 years ago. She has lost many friends over the last few years.

2. My sympathies, and I know what you mean. My
dad recently turned 78, and it seems like every week he loses another friend. Another sad fact of life...

3. I am cherishing my Dad's company these days
His health has been declining for some time. He is under hospice care...and comfortable. We are sharing some great and profound stuff these days. I am very grateful to have this time with him.

My condoloences to your parents.

5. Thanks!
Although it is just my mom. My dad died when I was just 5 years old.
