    My longest/best friend passed away over the weekend, it's the first close death I'm experiencing in my adult life and though he had been sick these past few years and had a few hospital stays, we were waiting for the new miracle treatment he was going to be given next year that would solve everything.
    He had spent most of his life taking care of others, and i was looking forward to him feeling better soon and starting a new chapter that would be a bit more about himself and his own wants and needs.

    We msged the day before after I had called and msged a few times during the week with no reply. The holidays are a stressful time for us and I knew he was traveling and not alone so I didn't think much of it. He was very tired and not feeling well enough to talk. Told me he was trying not to end up in the hospital for NYE. I thought it was another episode and that he knew what was best for him, that I should let him get some rest as he would always recover from those, and that I really hoped all would be solved next year. I don't know if he knew what was happening.

    Despite being an atheist myself, I still hope we remain connected somehow, for him to be able to enjoy sights, experiences or thoughts I would usually share that I knew he'd enjoy, and hope that when I'll think of him it will reach him in a way.
