Friendship is a very beautiful and valuable thing. I think friends rarely understand the impact that their love has on us all.
A very special friend died very recently. I still find it hard to process that he has gone. I still go to text him and keep having the pain of remembering he can’t reply. It is a real sadness that I don’t think he realised how important he was to me and to other friends.
A while ago, I was going through a tough time and was beating myself up with a whole heap of blame for all my perceived failings. He was, as normal, the voice of reason. A couple of days later, this card arrived in the post.
He wrote,
“Pin this up somewhere and make sure you remember it!! Being a good person is what matters and that’s why we love you. Hugs and stuff.”
I cried when I got this down from my fridge to reread but I also felt wrapped in love all over again. He hit the nail on the head. Being a good person is what is important and he was one of the best.
I think he would approve of this image and sharing the message.
Friendship is a very beautiful thing.

That’s a beautiful story. Sad and uplifting in the same sentences
Honey, you have me crying right now. Firstly, I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. How beautiful that he still speaks to you now, albeit in different ways than he did before. Secondly, this photo is so, so wonderful. The lighting, the card, your pose, everything is prefect and proud and lovely. You are a beautiful person *and* a good person.
Friendship is incredibly precious, the echos of it endure even in their absence. This post is both sad & uplifting, the photo is beautiful. I’m glad you have that lovely card to remember your friend by x

Just so wonderful! All the feels. Xxxxx
Indeed it is. my best friend in the whole wide world died 4 years ago. I miss him as much today, maybe even more so, as I did when he first died. He left a huge whole in my world that I suspect will never be filled be anyone else. Damn I miss that man so fucking much.
As for the image, my friend would have totally approved too. Sounds like our friends were wise fellows indeed
