@Snappo - These are the lessons in life that cut really deep, not sure why pain seems to be our teacher here. I had similar feelings when my grandma passed, I miss her a lot. When I lived with her for a while she got the shingles because I stressed her out so much. I didn't mean to, I was a good kid, but she definitely gave me way more than I gave her. Now I have 2 kids that are not mine and its my turn to give. The circle of life. Peace be with you Snappo . . .

My mom passed away in April. Some days it hurts so much I feel it knocks the breath out of me. I'm thankful I had her with me a very long time.
Your friend continues to be a part of you with the memories and emotions you shared together. No one can know what you are feeling right now. But know that we are thinking about you wishing you all the strength to get through the next few months. Time will make it easier but that place in your life will always miss that special precious friend.
Death of a loved one is the hardest thing to go through. Take care friend.

@Snappo I am so sorry for your loss. I feel like there are times that the universe can be relentless. Sometimes I get so angry and feel compelled to say why me? But, a good friend told me that my answer was hidden in my question! She went onto say that maybe the universe chose you because a part of a bigger plan.
Snappo - what you wrote about Joe was absolutely beautiful. Think how lucky the universe is to have his amazing selfless energy back.
As much love and energy that I can muster up is on its way.

@Everyone.... Well Said!
@Snappo, I am so sorry for your loss! With how you've written about Joe, there's no way he unaware of the magnitude your friendship. Friends are there to listen when you have a problem, to be there for you when you need company, and to keep the secrets that are closest to your heart. Although you will miss Joe, his kind qualities and heart-warming characteristics can live through you for the rest of your life.
Those roots Joe left you with, they don't just disappear. Think about what happens to a tree when they cut it down... the roots remain. And they continue to grow. So let the roots that Joe left you with grow into a new greater goodness...

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

@Snappo: Nearly three years ago I suddenly and unexpectedly lost my own Joe (Jose in this case). Our relationship was quite similar. He was a mentor and a friend like no other. I will always grieve for him.
I was on Maui when I got the news. I couldn't be there for the funeral or commiserate with his family and our mutual friends. So my wife and I drove to the top of Haleakala and spent the entire night. Now, even on Maui it gets pretty cold at 10,000 feet, and the night started with the top shrouded in clouds, strong winds, and rain—quite appropriate for the way I felt. We were sitting in a car and had only a blanket for warmth. It wasn't comfortable at all, the car was rocking in the wind, and outside you couldn't see more than the length of your arm, but eventually I fell asleep for a bit. I woke up at around 2 AM and the wind had stopped, the clouds had cleared, and I saw this:
I took that with a Canon G12 sitting on the dashboard and when I looked at it I was astonished and delighted to see that I had captured a meteor in the shot. I'm not a spiritual person but I couldn't help but wonder if this was just coincidence.
Later, as we descended the mountain, I took a shot of the sunrise:
I guess my point is that the two pictures that bring back the strongest memories of Jose are not of him or any place that he ever was—which is to say, now that's he's gone the important thing is his memory. Even in the darkest hour, Jose led me to great beauty.
Finally, this Joe/Jose is apparently named Frank.

Oh paka..... that made me cry.
Snappo, unfortunately the cycle of life is that when there is birth there is death. A continuum of sorts. And a very hard part of "growing up" is losing those we love. Or them losing us. I've lost loved ones; friends and family. My mother died in my arms. I miss all that have left but know their energy is still in me because of the experiences and love we shared. Those energies and experiences helped mold who I am and shape what I do. They also taught me the most important lesson of all; to enjoy and appreciate each and every day for what it is.... and use them as an opportunity to fulfill my mission on earth.
I know that it will take time for the hurt to heal. Let your memories and love for Joe sooth you and bolster you through this hard time.

To all my friends here, your words are wise and warming. I will carry them with me always and especially later today as we, Joe's closest friends, gather to celebrate his life and say our final goodbye. My heart sinks to my stomach and pulls at my throat as I write this - it is a feeling I have felt too many times before - and will feel again until there are no more. This day will pass, life will go on - but will never be the same ...not even close. But I will plan to return here to the comfort & company that I share with my FC friends. Until then...
@pakalolo
Regardless of the things most here think of you in private...I myself have respected you for a long time and you just proved to me that my assumption was always right.
I promise not to share with those outside this thread, but your a pretty fucking cool person.

Awwww shucks, thanks mom! I couldn't have done it without your help. I really don't know what to say, I wasn't expecting this so I'm not prepared. I guess I should thank all of the little people who liked my posts along the way. I won't mention names because I don't want to leave anyone out and definitely not because I don't remember any of them. I'll never forget all the weed that made this possible, both mine that made it tolerable and that of others who were so whacked out they liked my posts. Finally, a big thanks to @vtac, who is without doubt the one to blame for all this.
