In reply to the discussion: After JFK Conference, when I got home, I felt like RFK. [View all]Judi Lynn
(163,836 posts)64. Such a painful homecoming. It was thoughtful of your loved ones
to wait until you were really home to give you the sad news.
You know, and so many others know you have been so right to follow the search for the truth, and it takes courage, and steadfastness of purpose.
You were lucky to know such a worthy human being. There are not so many people like that among us, unfortunately. They are exceptionally needed and good for the human race.
We're with you in spirit, and we look forward to the time in your future this loss won't be so searing, so raw, and when you discover it seems the friendship does linger, never really does go away.
Best wishes, Octafish. He was lucky to have you as a friend, as well.
