Thank you, Robert, that really touched me. I lost a close friend at the start of this year. A real spirit guide - I don't say that he died, rather, he jumped ship!
That is a wonderful piece of writing - thank you. It caused me to reflect on my own friends who went too soon - painful but also life affirming. I’m glad you wrote it - please don’t take it down, it deserves to be widely read.
Wonderful. The whole time I was thinking of those I missed also that passed away. I met Robert at an early fully charged show at Silverstone when he was giving a young girl a presentation and found him to be a jolly lovely man! Thankyou for sharing that!
This is fine, it's actually comforting that I'm not the only one who is very self-conscious about what stuff I share in a blog. I partied fairly hard in my 20s, but got out of it, now 54 and hardly drink. But I have known people pass on far too young, it's good to remember them
This is lovely, your feelings come to life as do the people you miss. Also, it made me remember once again all the friends I have lost. In the worst case, I wasn't able to say goodbye or re-connect after being apart for a decade or two, and that makes me sad (similar to how you describe your experience of loss and regret).
Beautiful reflections. Visited my university for the first time in years today. Remembering a great friend who died a few years later from a brain tumour, and a housemate, and a close friend from those days, who both some years later made the same tragic choice to end their lives. Partly why I try to tell people when I appreciate something they've done, because they might hear it a thousand times, but they might only ever hear it once and there may not always be another chance. I sought you out at Fully Charged in Farnborough to do just that. Incoherently I suspect!
Well that was a bit different. As it happened, I had a dream last night where my daughter appeared. Sadly she died of cancer 7 years ago at the age of 40. It was a terrible loss to us and I think about her every day. She has appeared in my dreams occasionally and usually in fairly matter fact situations. Last night was no exception, just her parking the car and greeting me as she always did. I awoke and fleetingly wondered where she’s living now, but the immediately realised she was never coming back. I long for those dreams where we’re together again.

Thanks for sharing Robert. This was a thought provoking note.
