Burned VIVIDLY in my mind. My Grandfather lost his two closest friends. One he had known since he was about 10....1918?? BOTH passed away 2 weeks apart. I can still see his blank stare as he said "There's nothing worse than getting older and seeing people fade away". I gave it thought but I had just turned 11 at the time. But his words still stuck. He was in his late 60s at the time. I'm only 51 and it started with me 10 years ago. After Mom passed this past March, it left me as the last one of the immediate family of four. I too lost two friends who were Brothers.One I called my best friend. I already understand what my Grandfather meant. It's sad and it sorta scares me too. Sorry about my ramble but I totally get your sorrow.
