Loss

For the first time, in a long time, I don't know what to write. 

The past four weeks have been a whirlwind huh?  You coming home, (it will take me a long time before I stop saying that, you do realise?)  You returning to NZ, your actual home, and then the past few days, just waiting.  I've never felt further away from you, than I do today. 

Friendship, as if we need it spelling out, is about the good times and the bad.  The 'bad' is an unfortunate consequence of living this amazing life, this life we take for granted. 

I don't think there is anything I can do or say to make you feel better, some journeys, we have to make alone, we heal in our own time and the process will not be rushed.  Anyway, even though I'm over here, in my head and in my heart, I will be holding your hand every step of the way.
