Remembering my Friend and Cancer Awareness

[2angelsinheaven]

August 13th, 1981 - November 29th, 2002

Was thinking of my friend today and wanted to share with all of you about what a wonderful person Jeff was and will always be in my memory...I'd also like to take a minute to remind everyone to take cancer screening and testing seriously as it can affect anyone at any time... I would have never thought at age 22 I would be mourning my best friend who was 21. Jeff meant the world to me we spent many a night on the phone comforting each other's fears and also making each other laugh, had a promising career as a pro wrestling in his future and we also spent many a time driving all over the state together and I will always cherish these memories ... in 2000 during a match Jeff turned blue and was rushed the the hospital and shortly after diagnosed with Lymphoma... I was heart broken, I only visited Jeff a few times before he passed in the hospital I just couldn't bear to see him that way. Please make each moment with friends and family special life is too short ... sorry if this depressed anyone I just needed someone to vent about how much I miss my friend....

This is a song I listen to when I think of my dear friend and know he is no longer hurting, that he is in heaven now!

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Very good thoughts, 2angelsinheaven, thank you for sharing. And yes, so very important, ever vigilant.

My best thougths for friend, Jeff, he indeed sounds like he was a great guy. And a also, 2angelsinheaven, after reading your touching recollections of both Shon and Brooke.

Thank you for sharing,

Dan

Dan thanks for the hug I needed that, I also found out today that my best female friend's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer this am which brought out the memories of dealing with lossing my friend Jeff last thanksgiving... so overall today was a tough one. Thank you for visiting my angels site, it's been awhile since I've updated it as its hard to do without shedding some tears. I need to update the memories page as I've revamped their wall in our living room recently... again thanks it really means a lot to me when someone takes the time to read my angels' story and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

2angelsinheaven, I'm sorry for your loss. You are so right, life is just so short and I don't think enough people realize that. This is my first Thanksgiving without my father so I know where you're coming from. We just need to remember that they're in a better place.

I lost a best friend to cancer 3 years ago. How can it have been that long...doesn't seem possible.

I know how painful it is to have a friend die and I'm so sorry that you do too, you are so young {{{HUGS}}}
