Saying Good-Bye

Wish I could see you one more time to give you a hug and say good-bye. I am having a hard time believing you have passed. How do I accept the loss of my good friend? I will miss the loud knocking on my front door; you would stop by on the slightest whim you whirled me away like a hurricane. With only a moment's notice, our wanderings began. Whether we hopped into your car to shop or spend time with friends a day with you was quite the adventure; even when we talked about nothing. I can still remember when we first met; two hours after midnight and I was sitting on my porch. You started to throw rocks at a skunk; to scare him off. I told you to stop, he was not harming anyone. As I saw you walk towards me, I felt a little intimidated I remember thinking: "oh my God, what did I do?" But the concern I felt was for nothing; for you had a pleasant disposition. Admitting to me that it was wrong you apologized; and promised to never do it again. Not for a moment did I think we would become friends; unaware that a friendship was already forming. "Oh dear Lord, how I miss my friend."
