Most of my friends are dead now so they won't be joining me unless I go to them. I lost two to heart attacks, two to cancer, one to suicide and one to an accidental overdose. They were all cherished but I can't have them back. Treasure your friends while you have them.

Thanks for reading and reviewing my write - you are so right - we must appreciate our friends while we can; least we turn around one day and find them gone. We have their memories in our heart to reflect upon ... :-)

This poignant senryu reminded me of friends who have passed over. Several lost to cancer. Years later and I treasure there memory and the good times. Lost in the prime of life.

I lost a Poet friend who misunderstood... that I needed time to
gather strength to catch up with personal obligations. I had no chance to explain
as I was misunderstood. To forgive and forget is often difficult. Pat

Friends, real friends, true and trusted friends are the sisters and brothers we never had.. or as some would say, the angels who decided we had enough love in our lives. (Young angels - them, who didn't know one can never have enough of it!) The space that absence leaves also leaves a mark that never quite disappears.

Your brief words have said so much more than..

Slow week away, days seemed longer, even the shorter evenings smiled. Mind calmer, more smiles - hopefully permanent. Thank you. :)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder....and we do miss those who mean a lot to us when they are not with us. Lovely. Lydi**
